DOH Posts Inventory of Outstanding Rate Adjustments

As promised in recent meetings, the Department of Health (DOH) has posted a listing of planned Medicaid rate packages (i.e. updates) by provider type on their web site. The Medicaid Rate Inventory Schedule is accompanied by a Dear Administrator Letter providing contact emails for questions regarding rates. The list provides a target Medicaid rate cycle and intended check release date for each package and lists the current status for each.

While rates for providers serving developmentally disabled populations comprise the largest proportion of the 183 listed rate packages, 31 apply to nursing homes and 28 relate to managed long term care plan rates. Most of the packages are for prior or current rate periods, but in some cases rates with future effective dates are included as well.

If accurate, the listing provides a beneficial planning tool for providers and we will work with DOH to help ensure it remains as accurate and up to date as possible.
