Medicaid Wrap Around April 17, 2012 Debbra Curtis, CPA – New Horizons Healthcare
Medicaid reimbursement rate for FQHCs • Medicaid reimburses FQHCs (hereafter Centers) under the Alternative Payment Methodology (APM), a cost based rate. Centers are paid an all-inclusive per visit rate based on reasonable costs as reported on its annual cost report. During the year, Medicaid pays an interim rate and reconciliation to actual costs are made with the annual cost report. • Reimbursement rates are limited by urban and rural upper payment limits set annually by CMS. The reimbursement rate applicable to each Center is communicated to the Center in the Medicaid Cost Settlement letter. • PHBV Partners LLP (formerly Clifton Gunderson LLP) administers Virginia’s Medicaid program by, in-part, processing cost reports and Wrap Around requests.
Medicaid Wrap Around • If Medicaid HMO payments are less than a Center’s Medicaid reimbursement rate, Medicaid pays the difference. • The Wrap Around is a request for reimbursement of the difference between HMO payments received and the Medicaid reimbursement rate. • PHBV Partners assigns an analyst to each center. Your cost report and Wrap Around requests are submitted to PHBV Partners to the attention of your assigned analyst. That person is your contact for questions and assistance. • There are no report formats for the Wrap Around provided by PHBV Partners or Medicaid.
Wrap Around- Basic Information • Frequency • There is no requirement for the frequency of submission. PHBV Partners recommend quarterly. Centers may choose to submit twice per year or only once when the cost report is prepared. Quarterly submission is recommended for cash flow purposes. • Locations • For multiple locations which are included on one cost report, only one Wrap Around is prepared for each submission (one Wrap Around per group NPI number). • Detail report • After deciding the period of time you will submit (i.e. January 2012 through March 2012), compile a detailed report of all Medicaid HMO visits for that period of time. All HMO payments must be accounted for before you can prepare the Wrap Around. • Detail must include a unique identifying number (EHR claim number for example), date of service, gross charge and HMO payment. • The detail report is sent with the Wrap Around request so do not include patient names, social security numbers, etc.
Wrap Around Summary report • Indicate the time period covered by the report. • Summarize your detailed Medicaid HMO visits into the following categories: • Medical (including behavioral health) • Inpatient • Dental • Medical FAMIS (including behavioral health) • Inpatient FAMIS • Dental FAMIS • NOTE – FAMIS visits must be listed separately as indicated here. • For each category total the following: • Number of visits • Gross Charges • Payments
Wrap Around Summary - example Wrap Around payment calculation: In this example, there were 490 HMO medical visits with payments of $31,000 during the three month period January 2012 through March 2012. If the Center’s Medicaid reimbursement rate is $120, the Wrap Around payment on the medical visits would be $27,800 calculated as: 490 visits x $120 = $58,800 Less HMO payments ($31,000) Wrap Around payment $27,800 Dental Wrap Around payment would be calculated the same using the Dental reimbursement rate.
