HCA Advocacy Related to NYIA Continues: Help Us by Completing this NEW Multi-Association Survey

Situation Report | October 3, 2022 

We continue to monitor the New York Independent Assessor (NYIA) implementation and engage with the Department on critical issues impacting plans and their members. To inform these efforts—as well as our ongoing NYIA advocacy strategy—we will continue to collect information from plans on a monthly basis via a Survey Monkey tool that plans helped develop. To simplify plans’ work in response to these requests, we have joined forces with our fellow plan associations and now have one survey tool that all plan associations will use moving forward. As a result, you do not need to complete more than one survey per month, even though you may receive the request from other associations. The plan associations, including the MLTC and PHP Coalitions, HPA, Manatt, and Leading Age, will be working together to analyze results, elevate issues for resolution, and pull key findings for discussion with policymakers and other stakeholders in support of plans and their members. As always, data collected will be anonymized.

Given the timing of this request, we are simultaneously sharing two survey links—one for the July-August period and another for the August-September period. We have staggered the due dates for these two months’ survey responses, but if it is easier for your plan to complete them at the same time, please feel free to do so.

Finally, we recognize that not all plans may be tracking the data points included in these requests; you will have the option to indicate so as part of your response. All questions are optional.

Please do not hesitate to contact a member of the HCA team if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
