21 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does the grantee have policy and procedures on client eligibility? Does the grantee document HIV status for each client? Does the grantee document client annual income? Does the grantee reassess Ryan White and 3 rd party eligibility every 6 months? 21
22 Sliding Fee Scale 22
23 Sliding Fee Scales Most programs have sliding fee scale Must permit no charge for < = 100% Federal Poverty Level Establish a policy that addresses this requirement There are no set fee schedules but best practice is to set the scale based on Federal poverty guidelines 23
24 Bureau of Primary Health Care Patient discounts adjusted on the basis of the patient s ability to pay Full discount to individuals with annual incomes at or below 100% of Federal poverty guidelines 24
25 Self-Pay & Sliding Fee Scales Patient Registration Accounts Payables Collections expected but not aggressively Caps on Charges Never deny service regardless of the ability to pay 25
26 U.S. Poverty Guidelines Published Annually in the Federal Register Health and Human Services Posts on the Web 26
27 Sliding Fees & Caps Use only the Client s annual income regardless of family size 27
28 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does the grantee have a sliding fee scale? Are the U.S. Poverty Guidelines utilized? Are they updated annually? Are charges waived for clients with income at or below poverty. 28
29 Client Charges 29
30 Client Charges Charges are for HIV and primary care. Charges are not client payments. Payments can be waived by the program. Charges can include medical expense not provided by the program. Client is responsible for providing this documentation. 30
31 Client Intake Process New Client Intake Captures Client s annual income Referral for Insurance application Eligibility for Sliding Fee Scale Group Patients by Poverty Level Cap on Charges Calculate annual cap on charges Generate monthly reports of patient charges Monitor YTD charges Flag patients who are near cap Stop charges when appropriate 31
32 Caps on Client Charges 32
33 Cap on Client Charges Determine cap based on client (not family) income Limit annual patient charges to cap Stop charges once cap is reached Include other patient charges related to medical care Repeat each year 33
34 Cap Calculator 34
35 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does the grantee track patient charges? Are charges stopped upon reaching the cap? Is a cap in place for each patient based on the U.S. Poverty Guidelines? Is the client s income reassessed every 6 to 12 months? Is the client s cap recalculated upon change in income? 35
36 Program Income 36
37 Applicable Regulations Uniform Administrative Requirements (45 CFR Part 225) OMB Circular A-133 Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations HHS Grants Policy Statement 37
38 What is program income? Program income is any income that is generated for a grantee or subcontractor by the grant or earned as a result of the grant. Includes charges to beneficiaries under the sliding scale, as well as reimbursements from Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance for services provided. 38
39 RW Program Requirements Providers are required to maximize the service reimbursement available from private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and other third-party sources. Providers are required to track and report all sources of service reimbursement as program income on the annual Federal Financial Report and in annual data reports and report on application submitted. All program income earned must be used to further objectives of the HIV program. 39
40 RW Program Requirements FAQ # 34 Does an agency that receives Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding have to be a Medicaid provider? No. The Medicaid provider provision applies only to providers who provide services covered by Medicaid. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program legislation, Section 2604(g), describes these as any such service that is available pursuant to the State plan approved under title XIX of the Social Security Act for the State. 40
41 Tracking Program Income Ideal Tracking System o Budgeted as a resource with plans for specific expenses for which it will be used o Recorded in accounting system designated as RW Program Income o Transactions in accounting system to record specific receipts and specific expenses 41
42 Tracking Program Income Acceptable Tracking System o Billing system reports show amount collected o Program income is apportioned to programs either in accounting system or summarized on spreadsheet o Compared to administrative cost not covered in RW budget 42
43 Multiple RW Parts FAQ # 66 If a Part B provider also receives Part C and Part D funding and the client is effectively enrolled in all three parts, which program collects the sliding fee? The agency /program collects the fees based on the services rendered at the time of the visit, regardless of the funding source. The total program income (collected fees) can for the purpose of reporting be apportioned directly or indirectly by formula. 43
44 Examples of Billing System Reports Tracking Program Income Charges & collections by payer Charges & collections by all patients with HIV/AIDS diagnoses Charges & collection for practitioners whose salaries are paid w/ RW funds # of encounters by payer for all patients w/ HIV/AIDS diagnoses 44
45 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does provider prepare and review reports on program income? Does the provider use reports on services by practitioner to assess reasonableness of time and effort charged to RW Program? 45
46 Uses of Program Income Program income can only be used for eligible or allowable costs under the grant. Therefore, program income can be used for primary care, other program services and administrative expenses that would normally be allowed under the grant. Program income may not be used for costs that would not normally be allowed under the grant, such as construction or renovation, vehicle purchase, direct reimbursement to patients or recreational activities for patients. 46
47 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does the provider budget for program income and monitor budget vs. actual? Is program income recorded in the accounting system by program or activity that generated it? Do fiscal policies specify how program income is tracked by the activity that generated it? Do fiscal policies specify how the program income is to be used? 47
48 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does provider report program income to the Part A / Part B grantee? If the provider uses program income to cover unfunded administrative costs, does the provider record this in the accounting system or track it on a spreadsheet? 48
49 Billing & 3 rd Party Reimbursement 49
50 Examples of Software eclinicalworks Centricity NextGen SOAPWare Practicee Fusion Greenway Medical IDX 50
51 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does provider use a practice management software? Does the software include modules for Patient registration Scheduling Electronic medical record Encounter forms Billing & accounts receivable Reports 51
52 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does the provider identify the source of reimbursement for each patient? Does the provider s system allow for more than one source of reimbursement for each patient, e.g., patient has both Medicare & Medicaid? Does the provider s system identify RW patients and the services that are paid with RW funds? 52
53 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does provider prepare reports on # & type of service to patients with HIV/AIDS diagnosis? Does provider prepare reports on # & type of service to RW patients? Does provider reconcile # of encounters to daily schedule? 53
54 Suggested Monitoring Questions Does provider use electronic billing? Is billing done at least monthly? Does the provider follow up on denied claims? Does the provider bill for services to self-pay patients? Does the provider make reasonable collection efforts (e.g., requesting payment at time of service, monthly billing, analysis of the cost to collect, etc.) Does the provider have appropriate procedures for handling delinquent accounts (Note: providers should be discouraged from turning delinquent accounts over to collection agencies.) 54
