1 Medicaid Reimbursement Survey, 2015 Alabama

2 Alabama 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 January 2015 and September 2015 to request payment rates effective July 1, 2015, the beginning of the fiscal year for most states. In addition, the survey requested ACA rates, in effect as of October 1, As of publication of this report, 39 states have responded to the survey. 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 150 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, and reimbursement of pediatricians for providing certain mental and preventive oral health services to children.

3 Alabama AAP Medicaid Reimbursement Survey Caveats and Notes Medicaid fees shown in this report represent fee-for-service payments reported by states for stateadministered Medicaid programs at the time of the study (January, September, 2015). 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. Alabama reported that reimbursement for preventive medicine services does not include immunization and/or laboratory tests, that the state provides vaccines for children through a universal immunization program, that it pays the administration fee on the product code for vaccines administered through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, and that it paid a vaccine adminstration fee of (a) $19.79 to self-attested physican providers eligible for the ACA Medicaid, and (b) $8.00 to non-self-attested qualifying physician providers ineligible for the ACA Medicaid payment increase. The state reported also that it paid on the actual vaccine administration code, and that they reimburse for administration, not cost of the drug through VFC and Primary Care. For more information on the state's fee schedule please see the following state-provided link: 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.
