15 FQHC Encounter Rate Rule 1.3: Covered Services A. Medicaid defines an encounter as services provided by physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical psychologists, dentists, optometrists, ophthalmologists and clinical social workers. A clinic s encounter rate covers the beneficiary s i visit i to the clinic, i including all services and supplies, such as drugs and biologicals that are not usually self administered by the patient, furnished as an incident to a professional service. When services, supplies, drugs or biologicals are included in the clinic s encounter rates, the clinic cannot send the beneficiary to another provider that will bill Medicaid for the covered service, supply, drug or biological. content/uploads/2014/01/admin Code Part 211.pdf OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 15

16 340B Drug Pricing Background: The 340B Drug Pricing Program resulted from enactment of the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992, which is Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act. Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act limits the cost of covered outpatient drugs to certain federal grantees, federally qualified health center look alikes, and qualified hospitals. These providers purchase, dispense and/or administer pharmaceuticals at significantly discounted prices. The significant discount applied to the cost of these drugs make them ineligible for the Medicaid drug rebate. State Medicaid programs are mandated to ensure that rebates are not claimed on these drugs. Providers who are enrolled as 340B providers with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) are referred to as 340B providers. 340B providers appear on the Office of Pharmacy Affairs Database, Reason for change: In an Office of the Inspector General (OIG) June 2011published report, the OIG recommended that CMS direct states to create written 340B policies regarding reimbursement of 340b drugs in Medicaid. As a follow up to the OIG s recommendations, CMS directed that states clarify reimbursement policies for 340B entities in the approved state plan. DOM has submitted a state plan amendment consistent with the regulations, including those found at 42 CFR and , to detail how these covered entities are reimbursed. This state plan amendment will enable MS to be in compliance with CMS regulations and clarify billing /reimbursement for 340B entities. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 16

17 Program changes, effective July 1, 2014 DOM will allow providers to opt in or opt out. The Division of Medicaid defines opt in as the election by a covered entity to purchase and dispense/administer covered 340B drugs to Medicaid beneficiaries. The DOM defines opt out t as the election by a covered entity not to purchase and dispense/administer covered 340B drugs to Medicaid beneficiaries. Covered entities may change their opt in or opt out election by completing, signing and submitting the Medicaid 340B Covered Entity Attestation and Election Form to the Division of Medicaid. The change is effective thirty (30) days following the Division of Medicaid s receipt of the form. Covered entities changing their enrollment status must meet the requirements in Administrative Code, Part 200, Chapter 4, Rule 4.10.E.1) or 4.10.E.2). A contract pharmacy, defined by the Division of Medicaid as an agent of a 340B covered entity and ineligible to be a freestanding 340B covered entity, cannot dispense and bill the Division of Medicaid for 340B outpatient drugs for Medicaid beneficiaries. Billing (please see next page for detail pharmacy billing instructions) OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 17

18 Pharmacy Billing Instructions Pharmacy Billing instructions: These billing directions only address billing of 340B drugs. The non 340B drugs should continue to be billed using the Usual and Customary charge. The following section addresses only pharmacy providers who are 340B Covered Entities who have elected to opt in, that is dispense ALL of their 340B drugs to Medicaid beneficiaries i i at their 340B actual acquisition iti cost (340B AAC). It is understood d that t some 340B Covered Entities purchase both 340B drugs and non 340B drugs for their patients who are ineligible to receive 340B drugs. 340B providers who are enrolled with the department as a provider type other than pharmacy shall charge DOM no more than their actual acquisition cost for the drug product. NCPDP directions for POS billing of 340B drugs: In field 420 DK (Submission i Clarification i Code) enter a value of 20 (Description i 34ØB Indicates that, prior to providing service, the pharmacy has determined the product being billed is purchased pursuant to rights available under Section 34ØB of the Public Health Act of 1992 including sub ceiling purchases authorized by Section 34ØB (a)(1ø) and those made through the Prime Vendor Program (Section 34ØB(a)(8)). In field 423 DN (Basis Of Cost Determination) enter a value of 08 (34ØB /Disproportionate Share Pricing/Public Health Service Price available under Section 34ØB of the Public Health Service Act of 1992 including sub ceiling purchases authorized by Section 34ØB (a)(1ø) and those made through the Prime Vendor Program (Section 34ØB(a)(8)). Applicable only to submissions to fee for service Medicaid programs when required by law or regulation. ) In field 409 D9 (Ingredient Cost Submitted) the 340B actual acquisition cost must be entered. In field 426 DQ (Usual and Customary Charge or Total Charge) the lowest net charge that a non Medicaid, 340B eligible patient would pay for the same prescription must be entered. Example The total charge to a non Medicaid 340B eligible patient for a 30 day supply of Lisinopril 20 mg purchased under the 340Bprogram is $4.00. The same prescription p for a Medicaid beneficiary must be billed with an entry of $4.00 in the Usual and Customary Charge field. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 18

19 340B FAQs Are MSCAN (aka coordinated/managed care) claims included? Yes What will happen if a 340B entity does not complete and return the attestation form to Medicaid? The new policy, including attestation form, is in alignment with CMS and OIG recommendation for Medicaid agencies. It is Medicaid s intent that all 340B providers will complete the form and submit to Medicaid. If a 340B provider does not submit said attestation form, then this provider will be considered a non 340B entity. That fact may trigger audits from 340b regulatory bodies and drug manufacturers. I am a prescriber and I don t know why I received the 340B letter/attestation. What am I to do with this? OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 19

20 Preferred Drug List (PDL) What is a PDL? A medication list of preferred drugs selected as best of the best clinically, safety wise and monetarily. Does Medicaid still cover non preferred drugs? Yes, but prior authorization is needed d Why should we use the PDL? Every time a non preferred drug is used for a Medicaid beneficiary, MS Medicaid and the State of Mississippi lose money. Is every drug on the PDL? No. A drug class is not included if there are limited cost savings for that class of drugs, if there is little use of the drug, or if the class is mostly generic. This is monitored closed and DOM may decide to add or delete a class from the PDL as needed. How many classes on the PDL? Over drug classes are on DOM s PDL. Where can we find the PDL? On Medicaid swebpageat at drug list/ OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 20

21 Advantages of PDL Goal of the PDL is to have as many cost effective drugs available as possible. Preferred drugs do not need a prior authorization Adult beneficiaries (< 21) can get more than two branded drugs if the branded drugs are on the PDL. Save Medicaid and the MS taxpayers money OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 21

22 What is the Uniform PDL? Medicaid and MSCAN are working together to have a uniform or the same Preferred Drug List (PDL) for Medicaid, UHC, and Magnolia. Start Date Will help providers and beneficiaries OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID 22

25 Why does Medicaid do that? Fd Federal Regulations and Drug Coverage Medicaid covers most drugs and drug classes, but not all. Why is that? From the inception of Medicaid (early 1970 s) to the early 90s, every state had its own Medicaid state specific pharmacy formulary. States had the authority and ability to control and monitor pharmacy costs. 1990, OBRA 90 abolished state specific Medicaid drug formularies which caused Pharmacy budgets to skyrocket. Every prescription drug had to be covered (other than federal specified exclusions see below) if manufacturer participates p in rebate program. That means, that Medicaid does not cover the drugs listed below or we only cover some of the drugs listed below. Federal Exemptions: commonly know as 1927s are found in Section drugs used dfor cosmetic purposes; drugs for weight gain or weight loss; drugs for fertility; drugs to treat cough and colds; Over The Counter (OTC) drugs; DESI (less than effective drugs as determined by the FDA) drugs; and RX vitamins.
