1115 Waiver Demonstration - New York Medicaid Redesign Team (formerly called Partnership Plan) - Renewal Request
New York has submitted a five-year renewal request for its Medicaid Redesign Team 1115 demonstration, which includes proposals to refine Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) services such as nutrition support. The state is seeking to continue specific nutrition counseling and medically tailored meal programs while discontinuing certain infrastructure funding initiatives. A federal public comment period regarding this application is currently open through November 13, 2026.
HNH Insight
New York's renewal request highlights the ongoing tension between state efforts to integrate social determinants of health—like nutrition—into Medicaid and the evolving federal requirements for budget neutrality and program scope.
