• Enhanced FMAPs• CHIP is 73%• Promotion of Other Federal Priorities
• 100% FMAP for Electronic Health Records (EHR)• 90% MMIS/Technology • 75% Program Integrity
• Administrative Match generally 50%29
Provider Taxes• Defined in federal statute
• Must be broad-based and uniform
• Providers cannot be “held harmless” from the tax• Safe harbor rate of 6% of net patient revenue
• Nearly all states have at least one provider tax• Most popular:
• Nursing home• Hospital• ICF-ID 31
Provider Taxes Key in Missouri• Missouri has long standing history of provider taxes
• Missouri relies heavily on provider taxes to fund the Medicaid program
• Provider taxes fund state match for billions in payments
• Transformation recommendations must consider impact on provider taxes
32
Hospital Reimbursement
Complicated Methodology Per Diem
• Based on 1995 Costs Trended to 2001 Medicaid Add-On Payments
• Makes up Difference Between old Costs and Today’s Cost• Paid for both Fee for Service and Managed Care Days• Upper Payment Level (UPL) Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH)
Outpatient
Provider Tax funds about ½ of State Share of Payments34

Disproportionate Share Payments (DSH)• DSH Payments are for Uncompensated Care
Subject to Federal Allotment Cap; and Subject to Hospital Specific Costs
• Federal Allotment Reduction under ACA 5% for first three years 15% for next year 50% thereafter
• Missouri’s FY 2013 DSH payments: $511 million hospitals $207 million DMH hospitals
36
Disproportionate Share Payments (DSH)
DSH Reductions written in the Federal Bill
• Secretary Determines Cut Formula based on:- Percentage of uninsured,- State’s use of DSH funds, and- State’s current DSH level
Federal Rule with Formula Issued in May
37
Why Increasing Medicaid Eligibility is Important to Missouri Hospitals?
• DSH Reductions Will Happen Both Medicare and Medicaid
• Many hospitals at Hospital Specific DSH Caps Unrelated to ACA
• Medicare DSH cuts Comparable to Medicaid
• Other Medicare Payments Impacted• Trend • Sequestration 38
Allows Increase of Eligibility
• Under 65 with incomes up to 138% of the FPL
• Significant Eligibility Change for Missouri• Now: Parents up to 19% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)• No non-custodial adults unless seniors or disabled• Allows Medically Frail
• 100% federally funded for first three fiscal years (FY14-FY16).
• State share phases up to 10%:
- January 2017 – 5% (half year for FY 2017);
- January 2018 – 6%;
- January 2019 – 7%; and
- January 2020 – 10%40
