Interim Reconciliation. Each FQHC-LA's uncompensated care costs must be recomputed based on the actual as-filed cost report for the actual service period. The cost report is filed with AHCCCS covering the federal fiscal year (ending September 30) by April of the following year. SNCP uncompensated care payments made to the FQHC-LA for a DY cannot exceed the recomputed uncompensated care cost limit. If, at the end of the interim reconciliation process, it is determined that expenditures claimed exceeded the individual clinic's uncompensated care cost limit, the overpayment will be recouped from the clinic, and the federal share will be properly credited to the federal government. The interim reconciliation follows the same computation as outlined above in the Interim Computation of Uncompensated Care Costs steps, except that: - The cost per visit is computed based on allowable FQHC-LA cost and total visits pertaining to the actual service period cost report. - Both Medicaid visits and uninsured visits furnished during the service period are applied to the actual cost per visit to determine the clinic's Medicaid and uninsured costs. Medicaid and uninsured visits must be derived from auditable sources, including the State's PMMIS, managed care encounter data, and provider patient accounting records. - Both Medicaid and uninsured revenues, applicable to actual service period and derived from auditable sources, are offset against Medicaid and uninsured costs to arrive at the clinic's uncompensated care costs. - No trending factor will be applied. The uncompensated care costs must again be adjusted to remove costs related to non-emergency services furnished to unqualified aliens. An FQHC-LA's uncompensated care cost limit is determined for the twelve month period in each DY, except for DY 3 in which the uncompensated care cost limit is computed for the three month period ending December 31, 2013. Where a clinic's cost reporting period does not coincide with the DY (or partial DY in DY3), the uncompensated care costs computed for a cost reporting period can be allocated to the DY (or partial DY) based on the number of cost reporting months that overlap with the DY (or partial DY). The interim reconciliation described above will be performed and completed within six months after the filing of the FQHC-LA cost report(s).

An FQHCThe state must ensure that there is no duplication of payments for the same hospital uncompensated care costs under the SNCP and under DSH; SNCP payments must be accounted for in the hospital's OBRA 93 hospital-LA's specific limit. A hospital’s uncompensated care cost limit is determined for the twelve month period in each DY, except for all other hospitals in DY 3 in which the uncompensated care cost limit is computed for the three month period ending December 31, 2013. Where a clinichospital's cost reporting period does not coincide with the DY (or partial DY in DY3), the uncompensated care costs computed for a cost reporting period can be allocated to the DY (or partial DY) based on the number of cost reporting months that overlap with the DY (or partial DY). This is consistent with the methodology for the computation of the OBRA 93 hospital-specific limit for a given DSH State plan rate year. The interim reconciliation described above will be performed and completed within six months after the filing of the FQHC-LA hospital Medicare cost report(s).
