Medicaid
Since medicaid is a state run program, with some help from Washington, I would start with the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
As of my last update, the Medicaid reimbursement rate for CPT code 90808, which refers to a psychotherapy session involving the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders, can vary significantly by state and specific Medicaid program. Typically, reimbursement rates are determined by each state's Medicaid fee schedule and may be influenced by factors such as the provider's credentials and the setting of service. To obtain the most accurate and current information, it's advisable to consult the specific state's Medicaid program or their fee schedule.
One of the categories covered under the ambulance fee schedule is "Emergency Medical Services (EMS) transport." This category includes fees for transporting patients in emergency situations, where immediate medical attention is required. The fee schedule typically outlines different levels of service, such as basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS), each with corresponding charges based on the complexity of care provided during transport.
MPFS payment is determined by the fee associated with a specific Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code and is adjusted by geographic location. This fee schedule is updated annually by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) with new rates going into effect January 1 of each year.
The ADA does not endorse any one fee schedule.
It varies from state to state. I know that in Illinois Medicaid patients can be charged.
Fee Schedule
The payment method described is known as the average fee schedule or average geographical fee schedule.
It is a list of healthcare services vasis generally update fee schedules on an annual basis.
In a CMS fee schedule, individual physicians do not determine the prices for each service. Instead, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) establishes the payment rates based on a complex system that considers factors like the cost of providing services, the geographic location, and the resource utilization associated with each procedure. Physicians bill Medicare using these established rates, but they cannot set their own prices independently.
