Indiana Medicaid Rate Update

Without any updates in the month of May, there is no official word from CMS on the approval of the 2% Medicaid rate increases that is set to be retroactively implemented as of January 1, 2014.  Similarly, no official word has come from CMS on the approval of the updated waiver for Indiana’s QAF that was submitted in February.  For details on both of these issues, see the February posting from IHCA’s Insights at http://blog.ihca.org/2014/02/indiana-medicaid-rate-update-vbp-1114.html.  IHCA is set to meet with representatives from Indiana Medicaid and the Division of Aging on these topics, as well as RUGS IV and Value Based Purchasing.  More to come on all of these subjects in the future.
