NOTICE
Subject: Medicaid State Plan Amendment (SPA) 22-0025 Update Inpatient Hospital Cross-Reference.
Effective Date: April 1, 2022.
Description: This notice amends WSR 22-07-008 which was filed regarding medicaid SPA 22-0015. This SPA is renumbered as 22-0025 and is being submitted to update the statutory reference authorizing a hospital opting out of the inpatient "full cost" payment program if the hospital meets the criteria for the inpatient rate enhancement. The reference to WAC 182-550-3830 is outdated and is being replaced with RCW
74.09.5225. This is a "housekeeping" action and does not change current policy or practice.
SPA 22-0025 is anticipated to have no effect on the annual aggregate expenditures/reimbursement/payment for professional services.
A copy of SPA 22-0025 is available for review. HCA would appreciate any input or concerns regarding this SPA. To request a copy or 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).
