As required by
the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection
Act of 2000 (BIPA), the Michigan Primary Care Association (MPCA) and
the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) have developed
a fair and equitable prospective payment methodology for Michigan's
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). As essential safety-net
providers, it is imperative that FQHCs receive adequate payment for
providing the full scope of services to Medicaid beneficiaries living
in medically underserved communities.
Organizations currently receiving grant funding from the Bureau of
Primary Health Care under Section 330 of the Public Health Service
Act as well as federally-recognized Native American tribes and FQHC
'look-alikes' are reimbursed under this negotiated payment..
- Carefully review the Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA), sign and return it to MDCH.
- If you have not received a MOA, please contact Dave Stirdivandt
at
(517) 335-5353.
- Notify MPCA if you are going to need negotiations with MDCH
or have Medicaid reimbursement questions.
Please do not hesitate to contact Rebecca
Cienki at 517/381-8000 x223 if you have any questions or concerns.
