Dear colleagues that's the answer I got from the Offic of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (OASAS) when I asked why we are not yet recognized as QHP's.

Dear Ms. -Berger,

I have consulted within the agency for an answer to your question. First, I would like to point out that you are a QHP by virtue of your CASAC. Second, we are not currently revising our definitions however, when we begin that process the section on QHP’s will be considered for revision. In the interim, we have a waiver process and we have considered waiving the LCAT into the QHP category when a provider has solidly incorporated a recreational arts program into their curriculum and the LCAT working within that program should be considered a QHP for staffing purposes. This is done on a case by case basis upon application for a waiver by the provider.

I hope this answers your question, and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you wish to have a conversation about this issue.

Sincerely,

Flaherty, Associate Counsel
