Payment to Agency Providers


(1)

Authorization for payment in the appropriate electronic payment system must occur prior to the delivery of services

(2)

Payment is made after services are delivered.

(3)

For a service to be eligible for payment it must be included on a written agreement that specifies, at a minimum, the type and amount of services to be delivered. The written agreement must be signed by the provider and may be:

(a)

The individual ISP; or

(b)

A service agreement specific to the individual.

(4)

A provider must request payment authorization from the case management entity for services provided during an unforeseeable emergency on the first business day following the emergency service. A case manager must determine if the service is eligible for payment.

(5)

Travel time of the provider to reach the setting where services are delivered, when not directly providing services to the individual, is not reimbursable.

(6)

Payment by the Department for a service is considered full payment for the services rendered under Medicaid. A provider may not demand or receive additional payment for services rendered under Medicaid from the individual, parent, guardian, or any other source, under any circumstances.

(7)

Medicaid funds are the payer of last resort. A provider must bill all third party resources until all third party resources are exhausted.

(8)

The Department reserves the right to make a claim against any third party payer before or after making payment to the provider.

(9)

Upon submission of a request for payment, a provider must comply with:

(a)

All applicable rules in OAR chapter 407 and OAR chapter 411;
