Chapter 410

Rule Caption: 2011 – Client copayments; tobacco cessation; CAWEM Program.

Adm. Order No.: DMAP 31-2010

Filed with Sec. of State: 12-15-2010

Certified to be Effective: 1-1-11

Notice Publication Date: 11-1-2010

Rules Amended: 410-123-1000, 410-123-1220, 410-123-1260, 410-123-1540

Rules Repealed: 410-123-1085

Subject: The Dental Services Program administrative rules govern Division payment for services to certain clients. The Division amended rules to reference client co-payments addressed in General Rules Program OAR 410-120-1230; to reference the updated “Covered and Non-Covered Services document”; to change language regarding billing for tobacco cessation, which coincides with 2011 Dental Care Organization contract language; to clarify language regarding the Citizen/Alien-Waived Emergency Medical (CAWEM) program and add clarification regarding the dental coverage for clients under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Pilot Project prenatal coverage; and other minor clarifications.

The Division repealed 410-123-1085 (Client co-payments) as these policies are covered in General Rules Program rule (OAR 410-120-1230).

The Division amended rules to clarify current policies and procedures to ensure these rules are not open to interpretation by the provider or outside parties and to help eliminate confusion possibly resulting in non-compliance and help facilitate provider compliance with eligibility, service coverage and limitations, and billing requirements.

Other text may be revised to improve readability and to take care of necessary “housekeeping” corrections.

(A) For the purposes of this rule:

(i) “Edentulous” means all teeth removed from the jaw for which the denture is being provided; and

(C) The dental practitioner must note the teeth to be replaced and teeth to be clasped when requesting prior authorization (PA);

(e) Replacement of removable partial or full dentures, when it cannot be made clinically serviceable by a less costly procedure (e.g., reline, rebase, repair, tooth replacement), is limited to the following:

(A) For clients at least 16 years and under 21 years of age or who are pregnant — the Division shall replace full or partial dentures once every ten years, only if dentally appropriate.

(B) For non-pregnant clients 21 years of age and older — the Division may not cover replacement of full dentures, but shall cover replacement of partial dentures once every 10 years only if dentally appropriate;

(C) The ten year limitations apply to the client regardless of the client’s OHP or Dental Care Organization (DCO) enrollment status at the time client’s last denture or partial was received. For example: a client receives a partial on February 1, 2002, and becomes a FFS OHP client in 2005. The client is not eligible for a replacement partial until February 1, 2012. The client gets a replacement partial on February 3, 2012 while FFS and a year later enrolls in a DCO. The client would not be eligible for another partial until February 3, 2022, regardless of DCO or FFS enrollment;

(D) Replacement of partial dentures with full dentures is payable ten years after the partial denture placement. Exceptions to this limitation may be made in cases of acute trauma or catastrophic illness that directly or indirectly affects the oral condition and results in additional tooth loss. This pertains to, but is not limited to, cancer and periodontal disease resulting from pharmacological, surgical and/or medical treatment for aforementioned conditions. Severe periodontal disease due to neglect of daily oral hygiene may not warrant replacement;

(f) The Division limits reimbursement of adjustments and repairs of dentures that are needed beyond six months after delivery of the denture as follows for non-pregnant clients 21 years of age and older:

(A) A maximum of 4 times per year for:

(i) Adjusting complete and partial dentures, per arch (D5410-D5422);

Prior Authorization Does Not Guarantee Payment

(1) Prior authorization (PA) is valid for the date range approved only as long as the client remains eligible for services. For example, a client may become ineligible after the prior authorization has been granted but before the actual date of service, or a client's hospital benefit days may be used prior to the time the claim for the prior authorized service is submitted to the Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division) for payment.

(2) All prior authorized treatment is subject to retrospective review. If the information provided to obtain prior authorization cannot be validated in a retrospective review, payment shall be denied or recovered.

(3) Hospitals should develop their own internal monitoring system to determine if the admitting physician has received prior authorization for the service from the Division.

(4) For the Plus Benefit Package PA information refer to the prior authorization chart in the Hospital Services Program OAR 410-125-0080.

(5) For the Standard Benefit Package PA information refer to the Standard Population — Limited Hospital Benefit Package Covered Code List at the website www.dhs.state.or.us/policy/healthplan/guides/hospital.

(6) Hospitals may also verify PA requirements by calling the Division’s Provider Services Unit or the RN Benefit Hotline (contact phone numbers are located on the Division’s website).

Definitions and Billing Requirements

(1) Total days on an inpatient claim must equal the number of accommodation days. Do not count the day of discharge when calculating the number of accommodation days.

(2) Inpatient services are reimbursed based on the admission date and discharge diagnosis.

(3) Inpatient services are services to patients who typically are admitted to the hospital before midnight and listed on the following day’s census, with the following exceptions:

(a) A patient admitted and transferred to another acute care hospital on the same day is considered an inpatient;

(b) A patient who expires on the day of admission is an inpatient; and

(4) Outpatient services:

(a) Outpatient services are services to patients who are treated and released the same day;

(b) Outpatient services also include services provided prior to midnight and continuing into the next day if the patient was admitted for ambulatory surgery, admitted to a birthing center, a treatment or observation room, or a short term stay bed;

(c) Outpatient observation services are services provided by a hospital, including the use of a bed and periodic monitoring by hospital nursing or other staff for the purpose of evaluation of a patient’s medical condition. A maximum of 48 hours of outpatient observation shall be reimbursed. An outpatient observation stay that exceeds 48 hours must be billed as inpatient; and

(d) Outpatient observation services do not include the following:

(A) Services provided for the convenience of the patient, patient’s family or physician but which are not medically necessary;

(B) Standard recovery period; and

(5) Outpatient and inpatient services provided on the same day: If a patient receives services in the emergency room or in any outpatient setting and is admitted to an acute care bed in the same hospital on the same day, combine the emergency room and other outpatient charges related to that admission with the inpatient charges. Bill on a single UB-04 for both inpatient and outpatient services provided under these circumstances:

(a) If on the day of discharge, the client uses outpatient services at the same hospital, these must be billed on the UB-04 along with other inpatient charges, regardless of the type of service provided or the diagnosis of the client. Prescription medications provided to a patient being discharged from the hospital may be billed separately as outpatient Take Home Drugs if the patient receives more than a three-day supply.

(b) Inpatient and outpatient services provided to a client on the same day by two different hospitals shall be reimbursed separately. Each hospital shall bill for the services provided by that hospital.

(6) Outpatient procedures which result in an inpatient admission: If, during the course of an outpatient procedure, an emergency develops requiring an inpatient stay, place a “1” in the Type of Admission field. The principal diagnosis should be the condition or complication that caused the admission. Bill charges for the outpatient and inpatient services together.

Filing of Cost Statement

(1) The hospital must file an annual Calculation of Reasonable Cost (DMAP 42), covering the latest fiscal period of operation of the hospital with Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division):

(a) A Calculation of Reasonable Cost statement is filed for less than an annual period only when necessitated by the hospital’s termination of their agreement with the Division, a change in ownership, or a change in the hospital’s fiscal period;

(b) The hospital must use the same fiscal period for the Division 42 as that used for its Medicare report. If it doesn’t have an agreement with Medicare, the hospital must use the same fiscal period it uses for filing its federal tax return;

(c) The report must be filed for both inpatient and outpatient services, even if the service is paid under a prospective payment system or fee schedule (e.g., Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) payments, outpatient clinical laboratory, etc.);

(d) In the absence of an agreement with Medicare, the hospital must use the same fiscal period as that used for filing their Federal tax return.

(2) Twelve months after the hospital’s fiscal year end, the Division will send the hospital a computer printout listing all transactions between the hospital and the Division during that auditing period. The Calculation of Reasonable Cost statement (DMAP 42) is due within 90 days of receipt by the hospital of the computer printout. Failure to file within 90 days may result in a 20 percent reduction in the payment rate:

(a) Hospitals without an agreement with Medicare may be subject to a field audit;

(b) Hospitals without an agreement with Medicare are required to submit a financial statement giving details of all assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, audited by a Certified Public Accountant.

(3) Improperly completed or incomplete Calculation of Reasonable Cost statements will be returned to the hospital for proper completion. The statement is not considered to be filed until it is received in a correct and complete form.

(4) If a hospital knowingly, or has reason to know, files a cost statement containing false information, such action constitutes cause for termination of its agreement with the Division. Hospitals filing false reports may also be referred to prosecution under applicable statutes.

(5) Each Calculation of Reasonable Cost statement submitted to the Division must be signed by the individual who normally signs the hospital’s Medicare reports, federal income tax return, and other reports. If the hospital has someone, other than an employee prepare the cost statement, that individual will also sign the statement and indicate his or her status with the hospital.

(6) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this rule, this subsection becomes effective for dates of service on and after January 1, 2006, but will not be operative as the basis for payments until the Division determines all necessary federal approvals have been obtained. The hospital must file with the Division, an annual Calculation of Reasonable Cost (DMAP 42), covering the latest fiscal period of operation of the hospital:

(b) The hospital must use the same fiscal period for the DMAP 42 as that used for its Medicare report. If it doesn’t have an agreement with Medicare, the hospital must use the same fiscal period it uses for filing its federal tax return;

(c) The report must be filed for both inpatient and outpatient services, even if the service is paid under a prospective payment system or fee schedule (e.g., DRG payments, outpatient clinical laboratory, etc.);

(d) In the absence of an agreement with Medicare, the hospital must use the same fiscal period as that used for filing their Federal tax return.

(7) Inpatient rehabilitation facilities are exempt from filing an annual calculation of reasonable Cost (DMAP 42) and not cost settled.

(a) Requiring the client to comply with applicable Division rules or regulations; or

(b) Requiring the client to attend appointments with an escort approved by the provider.

(5) For a client who is threatening harm to providers or others in the vehicle, or whose health conditions create health or safety concerns to the provider or others in the vehicle, or whose other conduct or circumstances place the provider and others at risk of harm, the Division or transportation broker may impose certain reasonable restrictions on transportation services to that client, including but not limited to the following:

(a) Restricting the client to a single transportation provider, or

(b) Requiring the client to travel with an escort.

(6) Except for sections (4) and (5) above, the Division or transportation broker shall authorize non-emergent medical transportation to the nearest available appropriate provider when there is no other appropriate service available to the client under any circumstances in the client’s local area.

(7) The client shall be required to utilize the least expensive mode of transportation that meets the client’s medical needs or condition. Ride sharing by more than one client is considered to be cost effective and may be required unless written medical documentation in the branch or transportation broker record indicates ride sharing is not appropriate for a particular client. When more than one medical assistance client ride-shares to medical appointments, the Division shall reimburse mileage to only one client. The written documentation shall be made available for review upon request by the Division.

(8) The provider must submit billings for non-emergency ambulance transports provided to clients enrolled in Fully Capitated Health Plans (FCHP) to the FCHP. The FCHP must review for medical appropriateness prior to payment. Depending on the individual FCHP, the FCHP may or may not require authorization in advance of services.

Secured Transports

(1) The Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division) may not make payment to a secured transport provider for secured transport services when provided in the service area of a transportation brokerage. The Division shall reimburse the transportation broker according to the terms of its intergovernmental agreement.

(2) The Division shall make payment to a secured transport provider for secured transport services only when those services have been requested by a medical provider, authorized by the branch office and provided outside the service area of a transportation brokerage.

(3) The Division shall reimburse for secured transports when the following conditions are met:

(a) The provider must be able to transport children and adults who are in crisis or at immediate risk of harming themselves or others due to mental or emotional problems or substance abuse;

(b) The Division must recognize the provider as a provider of secured transports. This requires written advance notice to the Division (prior to or at the time of enrollment) that the provider has met the requirements of the secure transport provider protocol as established in OAR 309-033-0200 through 309-033-0970.

(4) When medically appropriate (to administer medications, etc. in-route) or in cases where legal requirements must be satisfied, including, but not limited to when a parent, legal guardian or escort is required during transport, one additional person shall be allowed to escort at no additional charge to the Division. The Division’s reimbursement shall be payment in full for the transport.

(5) The provider must submit a copy of all rates charged to the general public to the Division, provider enrollment, at the time of enrollment. The provider must submit any changes to those rates to the Division in writing within 30 days of the change. The notification must indicate the rate changes and effective date. If subsequent review by the Division discloses that the written notice is not accurate, the Division may recoup payments.

(6) The Division shall authorize reimbursement on an individual client basis in keeping with the Division’s rules regarding level of transport needed, eligibility, cost effectiveness and medical appropriateness. If the provider gave transport on an emergent basis, the Division may authorize, when appropriate, after provision of service.

(7) In keeping with the guidelines set forth in OAR 410-136-0300, the Division shall reimburse for court ordered medical transportation for an OHP Plus client who is otherwise eligible for OHP medical transportation services.

(8) The Division’s medical care identification (ID) does not guarantee eligibility. The provider must verify client eligibility prior to providing services. This includes determining if the Division or a managed care plan is responsible for reimbursement. The provider assumes full financial responsibility in serving a person who is not confirmed eligible by the Division as eligible for the service provided on the date of service. Refer to OAR 410-120-1140, Verification of Eligibility (also see the Division’s General Rules Supplemental Information guide for instructions).

(9) The provider must transport the client to a Title XIX eligible or enrolled facility recognized by the Division as having the ability to treat the immediate medical, mental and emotional needs of a client in crisis.

(10) The Division must assume that a client being returned to place of residence is no longer in crisis or at immediate risk of harming him or herself or others, and is, therefore, able to utilize non-secured transport. In the event a secured transport is medically appropriate to return a client to place of residence, the branch must obtain written documentation stating the circumstances and the treating physician must sign the documentation. The branch must retain the documentation and a copy of the order in the branch record for Division review.

All required information (except the branch number, worker/clerk ID and dollars authorized) must be completed by the provider before submitting the order to the branch or transportation broker for authorization. The provider must also indicate on the order the time and day of week the client called. The partially completed authorization order must be received at the appropriate branch office or transportation broker within 30 calendar days following provision of the service;

(b) If the provider sends a Medical Transportation Order to a branch for review, then upon approval, the branch shall complete the branch number, dollars authorized (if special or secured transport) worker/clerk ID and current date, and return the order to the provider within 30 calendar days.

(b) To return a client to Oregon from another state or provide mileage, meals or lodging to the client, unless the client was in the other state for the purpose of obtaining services or treatment approved by the Division or approved by the client’s Prepaid Health Plan with subsequent Division approval for the travel. This does not apply when the client is at a contiguous area provider as defined in OAR 410-120-0000;

(A) In the custody of or under the legal jurisdiction of any law enforcement agency;

(B) Going to or from a court hearing, or to or from a commitment hearing;

Multiple Encounters

(1) An “encounter” is defined in Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 410-146-0085.

(a) Medical (section (3) of this rule, and OAR chapter 410, division 130);

(b) Dental (OAR 410-146-0380 and chapter 410, division 123);

(c) Mental Health — f a client is also seen for a medical office visit and receives a mental health diagnosis, then the client contacts are a single encounter (refer to the Division of Addictions and Mental Health (AMH) for the appropriate OARs);

(d) Addiction, Alcohol and Chemical Dependency - If a client is also seen for a medical office visit and receives an addiction diagnosis, then the client’s contacts are a single encounter (refer to the Division of Addictions and Mental Health (AMH) for the appropriate OARs);

(e) Ophthalmology - fitting and dispensing of eyeglasses are included in the encounter when the practitioner performs a vision examination. (OAR chapter 410, division 140);

(f) Maternity Case Management (MCM) (OAR 410-146-0120);

(g) Physical or occupational therapy (PT/OT) - If this service is also performed on the same date of service as the medical encounter that determined the need for PT/OT (initial referral), then it is considered a single encounter (OAR chapter 410, division 131);

(h) Immunizations — if no other medical office visit occurs on the same date of service; and

(i) Tobacco cessation — if no other medical, dental, mental health or addiction service encounter occurs on the same date of service (OAR 410-130-0190).

(3) Encounters with more than one health professional and multiple encounters with the same health professional that take place on the same day and that share the same or like diagnoses constitute a single encounter, except when one of the following conditions exist:

(a) After the first medical service encounter, the patient suffers a distinctly different illness or injury requiring additional diagnosis or treatment. More than one office visit with a medical professional within a 24-hour period and receiving distinctly different diagnoses may be reported as two encounters.

(b) The patient has two or more encounters as described in section (2) of this rule.

(4) A mental health encounter and an addiction and alcohol and chemical dependency encounter provided to the same client on the same date of service will only count as multiple encounters when provided by two separate health professionals and each encounter has a distinctly different diagnosis.

(5) Similar services, even when provided by two different health care practitioners are considered a single encounter, and not multiple encounters. Services that would not be considered multiple encounters provided on the same date of service include, but are not limited to:

(a) A well child check and an immunization;

(b) A well child check and fluoride varnish application in a medical setting;

(d) A prenatal visit and a delivery procedure;

(7) Clinics may not “unbundle” services that are normally rendered during a single visit for the purpose of generating multiple encounters:

(a) Clinics are prohibited from asking the patient to make repeated or multiple visits to complete what is considered a reasonable and typical office visit, unless it is medically necessary to do so;

(b) Medical necessity must be clearly documented in the patient’s record.

The provider will bill the Division the clinic’s encounter rate for Medicaid-covered services provided to these clients according to their OHP benefit package (see OAR 410-147-0360, Encounter Rate Determination).

(b) A PHP is responsible to provide, arrange and make reimbursement arrangements for covered services for their Division members (refer to OAR 410-120-0250, and OAR chapter 410, division 141, OHP administrative rules governing PHPs). The provider must bill the PHP directly for services provided to an enrolled client (See also OARs 410-147-0080, Prepaid Health Plans, and 410-147-0460, PHP Supplemental Payment). Clinics must not bill the Division for PHP-covered services provided to eligible OHP clients enrolled in PHPs. Exceptions include:

(A) Family planning services provided to a PHP-enrolled client when the clinic does not have a contract with the PHP, and if the PHP denies payment (see OAR 410-147-0060); and

(B) HIV/AIDS prevention provided to a PHP-enrolled client when the clinic does not have a contract with the PHP, and if the PHP denies payment (see OAR 410-147-0060).

(15) Federal law requires that state Medicaid agencies take all reasonable measures to ensure that in most instances the Division will be the payer of last resort. Providers must make reasonable efforts to obtain payment first from other resources before billing the Division (refer to OAR 410-120-1140 Verification of Eligibility).

(16) When a provider receives a payment from any source prior to the submission of a claim to the Division, the amount of the payment must be shown as a credit on the claim in the appropriate field (refer to OARs 410-120-1280 Billing and 410-120-1340 Payment).

Multiple Encounters

(1) An encounter is defined in OAR 410-147-0120.

(2) The following services may be considered as multiple encounters when two or more service encounters are provided on the same date of service with distinctly different diagnoses (see OAR 410-147-0120 and individual program rules listed below for specific service requirements and limitations):

(a) Medical section (3) of this rule and OAR chapter 410, division 130);

(b) Dental (OAR 410-147-0125, and OAR chapter 410, division 123);

(c) Mental Health — If a client is also seen for a medical office visit and receives a mental health diagnosis, then the client contacts are a single encounter (Refer to the Division of Addictions and Mental Health (AMH) for the appropriate OARs);

(d) Addiction and Alcohol and Chemical Dependency — If a client is also seen for a medical office visit and receives an addiction diagnosis, then the client contacts area single encounter (Refer to AMH’s OARs);

(e) Ophthalmologic services — fitting and dispensing of eyeglasses are included in the encounter when the practitioner performs a vision examination. (OAR chapter 410, division 140);

(f) Maternity Case Management MCM (OAR 410-147-0200);

(g) Physical or occupational therapy (PT/OT) — If this service is also performed on the same date of service as the medical encounter that determined the need for PT/OT (initial referral), then it is considered a single encounter (OAR chapter 410, division 131);

(h) Immunizations — if no other medical office visit occurs on the same date of service; and

(i) Tobacco cessation — if no other medical, dental, mental health or addiction service encounter occurs on the same date of service (refer to OAR 410-130-0190).

(b) The patient has two or more encounters as described in section (2) of this rule.

(5) Similar services, even when provided by two different health care practitioners, are not considered multiple encounters. Situations that would not be considered multiple encounters provided on the same date of service include, but are not limited to:

(a) A well child check and an immunization;

(b) A well child check and fluoride varnish application in a medical setting;

(d) A prenatal visit and a delivery procedure;

(e) A cesarean delivery and surgical assist;

(f) Any time a client receives only a partial service with one provider and partial service from another provider, this would be considered a single encounter.

(6) A clinic may not develop clinic procedures that routinely involve multiple encounters for a single date of service. A recipient may obtain medical, dental or other health services from any provider approved by the Division, and/or contracts with the recipient’s PHP, if the FQHC/RHC is not the recipient’s primary care manager.

(7) Clinics may not “unbundle” services that are normally rendered during a single visit for the purpose of generating multiple encounters:

(a) Clinics are prohibited from asking the patient to make repeated or multiple visits to complete what is considered a reasonable and typical office visit, unless it is medically necessary to do so;

(b) Medical necessity must be clearly documented in the patient’s record.

Maternity Case Management Services

(1) The Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division) will reimburse federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and rural health clinics (RHCs) for maternity case management (MCM) services.

(2) MCM service is optional coverage for Prepaid Health Plans (PHPs). Before providing MCM services to a client enrolled in a PHP, determine if the PHP covers MCM services:

(a) If the PHP does not cover MCM services, the provider can bill the Division directly per the clinic’s PPS encounter rate. Prior authorization is not required if the PHP does not provide coverage for MCM services;

(b) If the PHP does cover MCM services, the provider needs to request the necessary authorizations from the PHP.

(3) Clients’ records must clearly document all MCM services provided including all mandatory topics. Refer to OAR 410-130-0595, Maternity Case Management for specific requirements.

(4) The primary purpose of the MCM program is to optimize pregnancy outcomes, including the reduction of low birth weight babies. MCM services are intended to target pregnant women early during the prenatal period and can only be initiated when the client is pregnant.

(a) MCM services cannot be initiated the day of delivery, during postpartum or for newborn evaluation;

(b) Clients are not eligible for MCM services if the provider has not completed the MCM initial evaluation the day before delivery;

(5) Multiple MCM contacts in a single day do not qualify as multiple encounters.

(6) A medical/prenatal visit encounter and an MCM encounter can qualify as two separate encounters when furnished on the same day only when the MCM service is:

(a) The initial evaluation to receive MCM service; or

(b) A nutritional counseling MCM service provided after the initial evaluation visit. See Section (7) of this rule for limitations.

(7) MCM services limitations:

(a) The Division reimburses the initial evaluation one time per pregnancy per provider;

(b) The Division reimburses nutritional counseling one time per pregnancy if a client meets the criteria in OAR 410-130-0595(14); and

(c) The Division will reimburse a maximum of ten MCM services/visits in addition to (a) and (b) above, providing visits/services are furnished in compliance with OAR 410-130-0595.

(8) Case management services must not duplicate services for case management activities or direct services provided under the State Plan or the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), through fee for service, managed care, or other contractual arrangement, that meet the same need for the same client at the same point in time. This includes Maternity Case Management, and any Targeted Case Management (TCM) Programs outlined in OAR chapter 410, division 138.

Cost Statement Instructions

(1) The Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division) requires federally qualified health centers (FQHC) to submit Cost Statements (DMAP 3027).

(2) Rural health clinics (RHCs) can choose to submit either their Medicare Cost Report or the Cost Statement (DMAP 3027). If the RHC files a Medicare Cost Report, the Division may request additional information.

(3) The Division reimburses some services, items and supplies fee-for-service, outside of a FQHC or RHC’s Prospective Payment System (PPS) encounter rate. For this reason, clinics must exclude the costs for the following items from the cost statement:

(a) Contraceptive supplies and contraceptive medications (see OAR 410-147-0280);

(b) Pharmacy. Requires separate enrollment, refer to OAR chapter 410, division 121, Pharmaceutical Services Program Rulebook for specific information;

(c) Durable medical equipment and supplies. Requires separate enrollment, refer to OAR chapter 410, division 122, Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS);

(d) Targeted case management (TCM) services. Requires separate enrollment, see OAR 410-147-0610, and refer to OAR chapter 410, division 138, Targeted Case Management for specific information; and.

(e) Comprehensive environmental lead investigation (refer to OAR 410-130-0245, Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment Program).

(4) Payment for services provided by FQHCs and RHCs is in accordance with 42 USC 1396a (bb). In general, a Prospective Payment System (PPS) encounter rate is calculated on a per visit basis that is equal to the average of reasonable and allowable costs incurred by a clinic for furnishing services included in the State Plan under Title XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act. The rate is calculated by dividing the total costs incurred by an FQHC or RHC for furnishing services by the total number of clinic encounters as defined in OAR 410-147-0500. A clinic must submit a Cost Statement (DMAP 3027) to the Division:

(a) For established clinics during an adjustment to the clinic’s rate based on a change in scope of clinic services (see OAR 410-147-0360);

(b) For new clinics (see OAR 410-147-0360); or

(c) If there is a change of ownership, the new owner can submit the Cost Statement (DMAP 3027) or Medicare Cost Report within 30 days from the date of change of ownership to have a new PPS encounter rate calculated (see also OAR 410-147-0320 (8).

(5) The Cost Statement (DMAP 3027) must include all documents required by OAR 410-147-0320.

(6) Each section must be completed if applicable.

(B) Administration; and

(C) Support staff, or any staff members who do not meet the criteria of OAR 410-147-0120(6) or the qualification or certification requirements under a clinic’s mental health certification or alcohol and other drug program approval or licensure by the Addictions and Mental Health Division (AMH) (see OAR 410-147-0320).

(9) Pages 3-4 — Reclassification and adjustment of trial balance of expenses:

(a) Record the expenses for covered health care costs, non-reimbursable program costs, allowable overhead costs, and non-reimbursable overhead costs:

(A) Covered health care (program) costs include all necessary and proper costs that are appropriate and helpful in developing and maintaining the operation of patient care facilities and activities. Necessary and proper costs related to patient care are usually costs which are common and accepted occurrences in the field of the provider’s activity.

(i) Personnel costs, including Medical record and medical receptionist costs;

(ii) Administrative costs;

(iii) Employee pension plan costs;

(iv) Normal standby costs;

(v) Medical practitioner salaries; and

(vi) Malpractice insurance costs;

(B) Non-reimbursable program costs are costs that are not related to patient care and which are not appropriate or necessary and proper in developing and maintaining the operation of patient care facilities and activities. Costs that are not necessary include costs that usually are not common or accepted occurrences in the field of the provider’s activity. Non-reimbursable program costs include, but are not limited to:

(i) Women, Infants and Children (WIC);
