23 Miss. Code. R. 202-1.13 - Out-of-State Facilities

A. Out-of-state hospitals are reimbursed under the APR-DRG payment methodology. The inpatient cost-to-charge ratios (CCRs) used to pay cost outlier payments for each out-of-state hospital are set using the Federal Register that applies to the federal fiscal year beginning October 1 issued prior to the reimbursement period. The inpatient CCR is calculated using the sum of the statewide average operating urban CCR plus the statewide average capital CCR for each state.

B. For transplants not available in Mississippi, payment for transplant services performed outside of Mississippi is made under the MS APR-DRG payment methodology including a policy adjustor. If access to quality services is unavailable under the MS APR-DRG payment methodology, a case rate may be set as described in Part 202, Chapter 4, Rule 4.7.

C. For specialized services not available in Mississippi, the Division of Medicaid will make payment using the MS APR-DRG payment methodology. If MS APR-DRG payment limits access to care, the Division will reimburse what the domicile state pays for the service or a comparable payment other states reimburse under APR-DRG.
