A written response to the request for reconsideration will be forwarded to the facility and to the Division of Medical Services. The decision of the contractor, upon reconsideration, is final.

250.000 REIMBURSEMENT

The Arkansas Medicaid Program reimburses inpatient psychiatric providers for medically necessary services only. Certification of need and prior authorization are prerequisites for reimbursement. The prior authorization number must appear on all claims submitted for reimbursement.

250.100 Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals

The per diem rates for inpatient psychiatric hospitals are established at the lesser of:

1) the hospital's per diem cost inflated by the consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U), U.S. city average for all items plus a $69.00 professional component or
2) the upper limit (cap). The $69 professional component is the average of the Arkansas Medicaid maximum allowable rates for the individual psychotherapy procedure codes. The upper limit (cap) is established annually at the 60th percentile of all in-state inpatient psychiatric hospitals' inflation adjusted per diem rates plus the $69 professional component. The calculation of the upper limit (cap) will be rounded up (0.5000 or greater) or down (0.4999 or less) if the 60'^ percentile is not a whole number. This is a prospective rate with no cost settlement.

Rates are calculated annually and are effective for dates of service occurring during the next state fiscal year (July 1^' through June 30'^). Per diem costs and the upper limit (cap) are calculated from the most recent submitted hospital cost reports with ending dates occurring in the previous calendar year. Less than full year cost reports and out-of-state provider cost reports are not included when calculating the 60'^ percentile. For hospitals with a cost report period of less than a full six months, the new state fiscal year per diem rate will be calculated by inflating the previous state fiscal year's per diem rate by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The upper limit (cap) will not be adjusted after being set should new providers enter the program or late cost reports be received.

New providers are required to submit a full year's annual budget for the current state fiscal year (July 1^' through June 30'^) at the time of enrollment if no cost report is available. This annual budget is used to set their interim rate at the lesser of the budgeted allowable cost per day or the upper limit (cap) in effect as of the first day of their enrollment. The interim rate for new providers will be retroactively adjusted to the allowable per diem cost as calculated from the provider's first annual submitted cost report for a period of at least a full six months.

250.110 Private Hospital Inpatient Adjustment

All Arkansas private inpatient psychiatric and rehabilitative hospitals (that is, all inpatient psychiatric and rehabilitative hospitals within the State of Arkansas that are neither owned nor operated by state or local government) shall qualify for a private hospital inpatient rate adjustment.

The adjustment shall be equal to each eligible hospital's pro rata share of a funding pool, based on the hospital's Medicaid discharges. The amount of the funding pool shall be determined annually by Arkansas Medicaid, based on available funding. The adjustment shall be calculated as follows:

A. Arkansas Medicaid shall annually determine the amount of available funding for the private hospital adjustment funding pool.

For each private hospital eligible for the adjustment, Arkansas Medicaid shall determine the number of Medicaid discharges for the hospital for the most recent audited fiscal period.

The most recent audited fiscal period is determined per the most recent Medicaid Notice of Provider Reimbursement (NPR) as prepared by the Medicare Intermediary.

For hospitals who, for the most recently audited cost report year filed a partial year cost report, such partial year cost report data shall be annualized to determine their rate adjustment, provided that such hospital was licensed and providing services throughout the entire cost report period. Hospitals with partial year cost reports who were not licensed and providing services throughout an entire cost report year shall receive prorated adjustments based on the partial year data.

For private inpatient psychiatric and rehabilitative hospitals for the SFY 2003 adjustment, discharges will be included as prorated proportional to the August 1, 2002, effective date.

B. For each eligible private hospital Arkansas Medicaid shall determine its pro rata percentage, which shall be a fraction equal to the number of the hospital's Medicaid discharges divided by the total number of Medicaid discharges of all eligible hospitals.
C. The amount of each eligible hospital's payment adjustment shall be its pro rata percentage multiplied by the amount of available funding for the private hospital adjustment pool determined by Arkansas Medicaid.

Arkansas Medicaid shall determine the aggregate amount of Medicaid inpatient reimbursement to private hospitals. Such aggregate amount shall include all private hospital payment adjustments, other Medicaid inpatient reimbursement to private hospitals eligible for this adjustment and all Medicaid inpatient reimbursement to private hospitals not eligible for this adjustment, but shall not include the amount of the pediatric inpatient payment adjustment. Such aggregate amount shall be compared to the Medicare-related upper payment limit for private hospitals specified in 42 C.F.R. § 447.272. Respective Case Mix Indexes (CMI) shall be applied to both the base Medicare per discharge rates and base Medicaid per discharge rates for comparison to the Medicare-related upper payment limit. These case mix adjustments are necessary in order to neutralize the impact of the differential between Medicare and Medicaid patients.

To the extent that this private hospital adjustment results in payments in excess of the upper payment limit, such adjustments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis according to each hospital's Medicaid discharges. Such reduction shall be no more than the amount necessary to ensure that aggregate Medicaid inpatient reimbursement to private hospitals is equal to but not in excess of the upper payment limit.

D. Payment shall be made on a quarterly basis within 15 days after the end of the quarter for the previous quarter.
250.200 Residential Treatment Units

Reimbursement for residential treatment units (RTUs) located within inpatient psychiatric hospitals will be cost settled per provider submitted annual hospital cost reports at the lesser of the audited per diem cost (including the professional component cost) or the upper limit (cap). The professional component cost included in the per diem cost is capped at $69.00, which is the average of the Arkansas Medicaid maximum allowable rates for the individual psychotherapy procedure codes as of August 8, 1991.

The per diem upper limit (cap) is established annually at the average (mean) budgeted per diem cost of the in-state freestanding residential treatment centers with full twelve month budgets and will be effective for dates of service occurring during the state fiscal year for which the budgets were submitted. The upper limit cap will not be adjusted after being set, should new freestanding residential treatment centers enter the IVIedicaid Program or late budgets be received.

Interim reimbursement rates will be implemented at the lesser of the per diem cost as calculated from the most recently submitted un-audited cost report or the upper limit (cap) in effect as of the first day after the cost report ending date.

New providers are required to submit a full year's annual budget for the current state fiscal year (July 1^' through June 30'^) at the time of enrollment if no cost report is available. This annual budget is used to set their interim rate at the lesser of the budgeted allowable cost per day or the upper limit (cap) in effect as of the first day of their enrollment.

250.300 Residential Treatment Centers

The per diem rates for residential treatment centers (RTCs) are established at the lesser of:

1) the center's budgeted cost per day which includes the professional component or
2) a $350 per day upper limit (cap). This is a prospective rate with no cost settlement.

The budgeted per diem cost is calculated from the annual budget, which all RTC providers are required to submit for the upcoming state fiscal year (July 1 ^' through June 30'^). Annual budgets are due by April 30'^. Should April 30'^ fall on a Saturday, Sunday or state or federal holiday, the due date shall be the following business day. Failure to submit the budget by April 30'^ may result in the suspension of reimbursement until the budget is submitted. Rates are calculated annually and are effective for dates of service occurring during the state fiscal year for which the budgets have been prepared. See this section for a suggested budget format.

New providers are required to submit a full year's annual budget for the current state fiscal year (July 1 ^' through June 30'^) at the time of enrollment. This budget is used to set their rate at the lesser of the budgeted allowable cost per day or the upper limit (cap) of $350 per day.

250.400 Sexual Offender Program

Hospital-based and freestanding Sexual Offender Programs are cost settled per provider submitted hospital cost reports at the lesser of the audited per diem cost (includes the professional component) or the upper limit (cap). Cost settlements are calculated using the same methodology as that for residential treatment units with the same professional component cap and the same annual state fiscal year per diem cap. Although they are not hospitals, the freestanding programs are required to report their costs using the hospital cost report format and applicable instructions and reporting requirements.

Interim reimbursement rates are established at the lesser of the per diem cost as calculated from the most recent submitted unaudited cost report or the upper limit (cap) in effect as of the first day after the cost report ending date.

New providers are required to submit a full year's annual budget for the current state fiscal year (July 1^' through June 30'^) at the time of enrollment if no cost report is available. This annual budget is used to set their interim rate at the lesser of the budgeted allowable cost per day or the upper limit (cap) in effect as of the first day of their enrollment.

251.000 Cost Report

Inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment units and Sexual Offender Programs must submit an annual or partial period hospital cost report to the Arkansas Medicaid Program. Providers with less than a full twelve-month reporting period are also required to submit a hospital cost report for the shorter period. Cost reports are due no later than five months following the close of the provider's fiscal year end. Extensions will not be allowed. Failure to file the cost report within the prescribed period may result in suspension of reimbursement until the cost report is filed.

Providers will submit all required hospital cost reports and budgets in accordance with Medicare Principles of Reasonable Cost Reimbursement identified in 42 CFR, Part 413. All cost settlements will be made using these principles.

252.000 Rate Appeal and/or Cost Settlement Process

A provider may request reconsideration of a Program decision by writing to the Assistant Director, Division of Medical Services. This request must be received within 20 calendar days following the application of policy and/or procedure or the notification of the provider of its rate. Upon receipt of the request for review, the Assistant Director will determine the need for a program/provider conference and will contact the provider to arrange a conference if needed. Regardless of the program decision, the provider will be afforded the opportunity for a conference, if he or she so wishes, for a full explanation of the factors involved and the Program decision. Following review of the matter, the Assistant Director will notify the provider of the action to be taken by the Division within 20 calendar days of receipt of the request for review or the date of the program/provider conference.

If the decision of the Assistant Director, Division of Medical Services, is unsatisfactory, the provider may then appeal the question to a standing Rate Review Panel established by the Director of the Division of Medical Services which will include one member of the Division of Medical Services, a representative of the provider association and a member of the Department of Human Services (DHS) Management Staff, who will serve as chairman.

The request for review by the Rate Review Panel must be postmarked within 15 calendar days following the notification of the initial decision by the Assistant Director, Division of Medical Services. The Rate Review Panel will meet to consider the question(s) within 15 calendar days after receipt of a request for such appeal. The question(s) will be heard by the panel and a recommendation will be submitted to the Director of the Division of Medical Services.

260.000 BILLING PROCEDURES
261.000 Introduction to Billing

Not applicable to this program.

262.300 Billing Instructions-Paper Only

EDS offers providers several options for electronic billing. Therefore, claims submitted on paper are paid once a month. The only claims exempt from this process are those which require attachments or manual pricing.

Since the CMS-1450 (formerly UB-92) is a uniform claim form to be used nationwide for submitting claims to all third party payers, providers are responsible for purchasing their own forms from approved vendors. Medicaid will not furnish the claim form. View a CMS-1450 sample form.

To ensure that claims are processed with a minimal amount of delay, providers should complete all required fields of the CMS-1450 (formerly UB-92) claim form. The CMS-1450 data specifications should be used as a guide. The manual was developed by the National Uniform Billing Committee whose work is coordinated through the offices of the American Hospital Association. View or print data specifications manual ordering information.

To bill for Inpatient Psychiatric services, use the claim form CMS-1450 (formerly UB-92). Listed below are instructions for filing the CMS-1450 (formerly UB-92) with the Arkansas Medicaid Program. The numbered items correspond to the numbered locators on the CMS-1450 (formerly UB-92).

The following instructions must be read and carefully adhered to, so that EDS can efficiently process claims. Accuracy, completeness and clarity are important. Claims cannot be processed if applicable information is not supplied or is illegible. Claims should be typed whenever possible.

Please forward the original of the completed form to EDS Claims Department. View or print EDS Claims contact information.

One copy of the claim form should be retained for your records.

NOTE: A provider rendering services without verifying eligibility for each date of service does so at the risk of not being reimbursed for the services.
