METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PAYMENT RATES -OTHER TYPES OF CARE ATTACHMENT 4.19-B

At the beginning of each calendar year, the State Agency will negotiate with the affected provider group representatives to arrive at a mutually acceptable increase or decrease from the maximum rate. Market forces, such as private insurance rate, medical and general inflation figures, changes in practice costs and changes in program requirements, will be considered during the negotiation process. Any agreed upon increase or decrease will be implemented at the beginning of the following State Fiscal Year, July 1, with any appropriate State Plan changes.
