In this Report...
This report provides state-reported fees paid for pediatric services represented by over 200 CPT and dental codes used by state-administered fee-for-service Medicaid programs to reimburse providers. Medicaid fees are compared to Medicare where available, or to other benchmark fees (such as prices listed in the Clinical Diagnostic Lab Fee Schedule, or prices based on the Ingenix Essential RBRVS) where Medicare comparisons are unavailable. Codes are selected for inclusion in the survey based on (i) utilization, and (ii) importance to Academy priorities, such as Bright Futures and the pediatric medical home. Also included in this report are summary updates on Medicaid managed care (MMC) enrollment, state-monitoring of MMC physician reimbursement, coverage of Bright Futures benefits, availability of enhanced payment for pediatric services, availability of pediatric medical home program and provider payment, availability of Pediatric Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) program and provider payment, and reimbursement of pediatricians for providing certain mental and preventive oral health services to children.
Medicare rates in this report are (a) based on non-facility Medicare payment published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for 2011, and (b) adjusted with Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCIs) published by CMS. Certain codes, including not not limited to 99381-5 and 99391-5, are assigned RVUs but not covered by Medicare. CPT is a trademark of the American Medical Association. Dental codes (CDT Codes) are copyright 2006 American Dental Association. Reprinted with permission. Contact Information Contact Suk-fong Tang, Department of Practice, for comments on this report.
