Summary
New York State OASAS is merging Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment Programs (COP) with colocated Part 822 Outpatient Services and Part 822 Opioid Treatment Program services under one operating certificate. This integration affects the regulatory structure for outpatient addiction treatment clinics in New York.
Action Required
By August 1, 2024 (already effective): Billing teams at New York OASAS-certified facilities should verify their operating certificate status and ensure billing is aligned with the merged certificate structure. Review the provider alert linked in the policy for specific operational requirements and contact OASAS if clarification is needed on certificate consolidation impact on billing processes.
