Reimbursement
Merging Industry Insight with Professional Perspective
Hank Cassidy, formerly of the Bureau of Long-Term Care Reimbursement, has 30 years of experience in rate setting, special projects, appeal methodology, and new regional pricing methodology. His familiarity with the industry laws and byways is unparalleled, and positions him as the go-to person for ways to maximize funding for long-term care, as well as
alternative cost-cutting solutions.
With the upcoming implementation of Statewide Pricing, the reimbursement structure is about to change, and all nursing homes, regardless of sponsorship, will be impacted.
Nursing Homes that received enhanced rates in the past due to bed size (300+), hospital based classification and safety net add-on rates will be especially hard hit by these new statutes.

A recent addition to Horan, Martello, Morrone, P.C., Hank’s wealth of expertise on healthcare regulations and financing positions him as the go-to address for ways to maximize funding for long-term care, as well as alternative cost-cutting solutions.
Hank served as the former Chief Healthcare Fiscal Analyst for the Bureau of Long-Term Care Reimbursement, and was an integral part of the NYS Department of Health. For thirty years, he was always ready and available by phone to answer any questions with his trademark courtesy and joviality. Serving as the “Voice of Reason” between the Long-Term Healthcare Industry and the State, he went out of his way to be of assistance, smoothing out complications when necessary.
In the past, he has calculated Medicaid rates for Nursing facilities. He has also assisted the NYS Attorney General in researching data for Medicaid Fraud investigations, assisted in developing cost containment initiatives for the State Medicaid Program, and participated in the review of the upper payment limit (UPL) – an integral part of the federal approval process for federal financial participation relating to Medicaid.
