Welcome & Introductions 4

Purpose of Meeting The purpose of this meeting is to share information regarding upcoming changes to how the Department will classify medical providers that are licensed by CDPHE as a Community Clinic or a Community Clinic with Emergency Centers (CC/CCEC). 5

Purpose of Meeting • Make you aware of planned creation of a new provider type • Share our expectations of providers once the new provider type takes effect • Provide you with time and opportunity to suggest, for example, additional non-claims-based data sets the Department should consider evaluating post-change • Solicit from you data sets that may assist us in creating an appropriate provider payment methodology post-change 6

Background • Currently CC/CCEC entities are allowed to bill for services as a hospital under the ID of the hospital with which they are associated. • CDPHE licenses these entities separately from a hospital. • Those entities that are not associated with a hospital may bill as Clinics. 7

New Provider Type • The Department plans to create a provider type specifically for Hospital Affiliated/CMS Certified CC/CCEC entities that may then participate in the Medicaid program. • The Department will gather data post-change in order to create a payment methodology that differs from the current hospital methodology. • The proposed provider type will be paid using the Enhanced Ambulatory Patient Grouper payment methodology similar to the way outpatient hospital services are paid (UB-04 claim type) • Independent professionals that provide professional services will be paid separately (CMS 1500 claim type) 8

Regulatory Steps • The Department must submit a State Plan Amendment to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ➢ CMS has 90 days to either approve, deny, or request additional information • Once the SPA is approved, new Department rules that define the provider type and scope of services will be submitted to the Medical Services Board (MSB) for approval ➢ The MSB meets on the second Friday of each month. ➢ Usually, a rule is approved upon second reading and becomes effective the last day of the month following the approval date. 9

Provider Payment • For the time being, you are going to be reimbursed at the same rates as hospitals. ➢ In the future, we will be looking at a different reimbursement methodology that reflects actual services provided at these facilities and the costs incurred in providing this care. ➢ This will be a data-driven process, during which we will need your participation and input. 10

Ask • Please provide us with the names, locations and affiliations of all those CC/CCEC entities you represent, and whether those entities are Medicare certified to be recognized as part of a hospital. ➢ If you are able to collaborate to create a single list prior to sending, we welcome that approach. ➢ Please email Ana Lucaci, ana.lucaci@state.co.us with this information. • Please provide any additional non-claims-based data sets you believe reflect actual services provided at these facilities and the costs incurred in providing this care, for Department consideration when developing a reimbursement methodology. 11
