A Livingston County judge has lifted a temporary restraining order that halted the transfer of patient data in New York’s Medicaid home care program transition.
The change involves consolidating nearly 700 fiscal intermediaries into a single provider by April 1.
Governor Hochul’s office welcomed the decision, stating that patient data remains secure. However, advocates and small providers continue to challenge the plan in court, citing privacy risks and potential mismanagement.
Legal battles and calls to delay the transition persist as stakeholders debate the program’s future.
