IHCA
IHCA, HOPE and LeadingAge met with representatives from FSSA and Indiana Medicaid (OMPP) on February 3rd to discuss the proposed transition to RUGs IV. OMPP continues to push for RUGs IV 66 grouper to be implemented on July 1, 2016. Two weeks ago OMPP made a new proposal, which was to move to RUGs IV 66 grouper, to increase the Special Care Unit add-on in 2016 by $17M and then eliminated the add-on in the following year, and to increase the QAF. Per the direction of the IHCA Payment/Reimbursement Committee and IHCA Board, IHCA staff rejected that proposal. IHCA is working with HOPE and LeadingAge to develop a unified proposal to present to OMPP in the coming week or so.
