1 Medicaid Reimbursement Survey, 2010/11 North Carolina

2 North Carolina /11 AAP Medicaid Reimbursement Survey Survey Summary As part of its effort to monitor the impact of the Medicaid program on pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) conducts its Medicaid Reimbursement Survey periodically. The Survey, which collects state-administered fee-for-service program payment rates for commonly reported pediatric Current Procedural Terminology/CPT codes and dental codes, was most recently mailed to State Medicaid Directors in the 50 states and the District of Columbia between July 2010 and February 2011 to request payment rates effective July 1, 2010, the beginning of the fiscal year for most states. As of publication of this report, 46 states have responded to the survey. Tennessee, which does not have a state-administered fee-for-service Medicaid program, is not included in this report series. This and earlier AAP Medicaid Reimbursement Survey reports can be found at URL: In this Report... This report provides state-reported fees paid for pediatric services represented by over 200 CPT and dental codes used by state-administered fee-for-service Medicaid programs to reimburse providers. Medicaid fees are compared to Medicare where available, or to other benchmark fees (such as prices listed in the Clinical Diagnostic Lab Fee Schedule, or prices based on the Ingenix Essential RBRVS) where Medicare comparisons are unavailable. Codes are selected for inclusion in the survey based on (i) utilization, and (ii) importance to Academy priorities, such as Bright Futures and the pediatric medical home. Also included in this report are summary updates on Medicaid managed care (MMC) enrollment, state-monitoring of MMC physician reimbursement, coverage of Bright Futures benefits, availability of enhanced payment for pediatric services, availability of pediatric medical home program and provider payment, availability of Pediatric Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) program and provider payment, and reimbursement of pediatricians for providing certain mental and preventive oral health services to children.

3 North Carolina /11 AAP Medicaid Reimbursement Survey Caveats and Notes Medicaid fees shown in this report represent fee-for-service payments reported by states for state-administered Medicaid programs at the time of the study. The rates are subject to change. Nationally, the majority of children enrolled in Medicaid programs are enrolled in managed care plans, which may or may not benchmark provider payment rates to fees shown in this report. Depending on managed care penetration levels, the impact of state-administered fee-for-service Medicaid payment rates varies by state. Unless noted otherwise, non-facility rates and enhanced payment rates for pediatric services, where available and reported by the state, are included in this report. Medicare rates in this report are (a) based on non-facility Medicare payment published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for 2011, and (b) adjusted with Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCIs) published by CMS. Certain codes, including not not limited to and , are assigned RVUs but not covered by Medicare. CPT is a trademark of the American Medical Association. Dental codes (CDT Codes) are copyright 2006 American Dental Association. Reprinted with permission. Contact Information Contact Suk-fong Tang, Department of Practice, for comments on this report.

4 North Carolina /11 AAP Medicaid Reimbursement Survey Abbreviations AAP: American Academy of Pediatrics BC: Billed amount / billed charges BI / BR/ IC/ MP/ PR: By invoice/ by report/ individual consideration/manually priced/per review, i.e., Carrier will establish payment amounts for these services on a case-by-case basis following review of documentation, such as an operative report. BO: Bundled with other services, i.e., Payment for covered services is always bundled into payment for other services not specified. If these services are covered, payment for them is subsumed by the payment for the services to which they are incident. CMS: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services FFS: Discounted fee-for-service IER: RVUs not published for this code in the Medicare RBRVS; values are based on the Ingenix Essential RBRVS. Ratio (percentage listed under %Medicare column) represents Medicaid payment as a percentage of the rate calculated using the RVUs published in the Ingenix Essential RBRVS. LFS: Amount per Clinical Diagnostic Lab Fee Schedule. Ratio (percentage listed under %Medicare column) represents Medicaid payment as a percentage of the mount listed for the state in the Clinical Diagnostic Lab Fee Schedule. NA: Not applicable NC: Not covered NIS: Not priced by the current Physician Fee Schedule, or RVUs not included in RBRVS NL: Payment information specific to procedure code not listed on state Medicaid website or physician fee schedule. Note: absence of such information from fee schedule often indicates that the service is either not covered, or covered under alternate code(s). NP: Information not provided by state in returned AAP survey OM: Other method used P2010: 2010 pricing; code replaced prior to publication of this report QMB: Qualified Medicare Beneficiary RBRVS: Resource-Based Relative Value Scale, the physician payment schedule for Medicare RNE: Rate not established RVU(s): Relative Value Unit(s), the numeric value of the resources needed to provide services according to the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale UCF: Usual and customary fees VFC: Vaccines for Children Program. Providers are typically paid a vaccine administration fee for administering vaccines made available free of charge through VFC programs.
