2.3 Professional Providers and Outpatient Facilities Reimbursement Reduction
The 2008-2009 General Appropriations Act (Article II, Special Provisions, Section 57(a)(3)(i), H.B. 1, 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007) eliminated the 2.5 percent Medicaid payment reduction that had been applied to Medicaid payments for professional providers and outpatient facilities since September 1, 2003. The elimination of the 2.5 percent Medicaid payment reduction is effective with dates of service beginning September 1, 2007.
No change in payments for Medicaid and Medicaid Managed Care inpatient claims were made effective September 1, 2007. Therefore, the reduced standard dollar amount (SDA) and reduced TEFRA cost reimbursement for inpatient hospitals remains.
