NOTICE
Title or Subject: Medicaid State Plan Amendment (SPA) 19-0009.
Effective Date: July 1, 2019.
Description: The health care authority (HCA) intends to submit medicaid SPA 19-0009 to authorize an alternative payment methodology under Section 1902 (bb)(6) of the act for any outpatient health program or facility operated by a tribe or tribal organization under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638) that elects to enroll in Washington medicaid as a Federally Qualified Health Center (Tribal FQHC), in accordance with the guidance provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Federal Funding for Services "Received Through" an IHS/Tribal Facility and Furnished to Medicaid-Eligible American Indians and Alaska Natives, issued January 18, 2017.
HCA estimates that annual aggregate payments to Tribal 638 facilities would be $1,461,000, increasing payments as follows:
| |
| • | Outpatient services of a Tribal 638 facility will become eligible for the Indian Health Service (IHS) encounter rate that are currently not eligible because 42 C.F.R. §440.90 prohibits facility rate payment for services outside the four walls of the facility. |
| • | Outpatient services of a Tribal 638 facility will become eligible for the IHS encounter rate that are currently not eligible because the beneficiary is both enrolled in a medicaid managed care plan and not American Indian/Alaska Native. |
A copy of SPA 19-0009 is available for review. HCA would appreciate any input or concerns regarding this SPA. To request a copy of the SPA, you may contact the agency in your county listed in the table or the person named below. To submit comments, please contact the person named below (please note that all comments are subject to public review and disclosure, as are the names of those who comment).
