Cost for Uncompensated Care Effective July 1, 2014 Sample Clauses

Cost for Uncompensated Care Effective July 1, 2014. The SNCP payments pursuant to section VIII support providers for furnishing uncompensated care. Prior to July 1, 2014, these payments were not limited to the documented cost of providing such care. During the 2011-2014 extension period, CMS and the Commonwealth worked to develop a cost limit protocol, approved by CMS on December 17, 2013 and included as Attachment H to the STCs. The Uncompensated Care Cost Limit Protocol (Attachment G) ensures that beginning on July 1, 2014 all provider payments for uncompensated care pursuant to STC 50(b) will be limited on a provider-specific basis to the cost of providing Medicaid state plan services and any other additional allowable uncompensated costs of care provided to Medicaid eligible individuals and uninsured individuals, less payment received by or on behalf of such individuals for such services. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Critical Access Hospitals may receive 101% of the cost of providing Medicaid services, and 100% of uncompensated care costs as specified by the provisions of Section 1923(g) of the Act as implemented by 447.295(d). The DSH audit rule definition of allowable inpatient and outpatient services and allowable uninsured costs and revenues served as the initial framework for discussions on the cost protocol. Any additional costs to be included as allowable as uncompensated were identified and included in the resulting approved cost limit protocol.
