A fiscal line item in the city budget that covers the city's share of Medicaid and other mandated health-related costs. It is not an operating agency with staff -- it is an accounting bucket for pass-through health payments the city is legally required to make. New York City pays a larger local share of Medicaid than almost any other locality in America. This line item reflects a chunk of that obligation, and changes to state or federal Medicaid policy directly hit this budget.
Did You Know
New York is the only state that requires counties and cities to pay a share of Medicaid costs. NYC's annual local Medicaid bill runs over $6 billion -- making the city one of the largest Medicaid contributors of any local government in the country.
