The fund covers the costs of qualified health care services, supplies, equipment, medications, and certain home and vehicle modifications that the qualified individual's physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner have determined are necessary to meet the individual's health care needs. The operations and administration of the MIF is subject to regulation, 10 NYCRR § 69-10.1 et seq, promulgated by the New York State Department of Health. The regulations require prior approval of an enrollee's request for an environmental modification (EMOD) by the Fund Administrator and/or the Department. The regulations define the meaning of the term "environmental modification" and set forth the requisite standard of review for determining whether a requested EMOD qualifies for coverage by the MIF. The regulations require three different evaluations over the course of the approval of and final payment for an EMOD, which include an initial evaluation, a bid evaluation, and a post-modification evaluation. An additional mid-modification evaluation may be requested by the Department or Fund Administrator.
