Today, the Department of Health Care Services sent hospitals invoices covering the first six fee-for-service cycles of the 2017-19 Hospital Fee Program. The first invoice has a due date of Feb. 5 and covers Jan 1. 2017 – March 31, 2017. Hospitals will receive the first fee-for-service payment on Feb. 26. The estimated implementation schedule for the 10 fee-for-service cycles is attached.
CHA is in the process of updating the fee and payment model to reflect final invoice amounts, as well as the fee-for-service payment amounts recently approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The updated 2017-19 Hospital Fee Program model is scheduled for release next week, with hospital-specific schedules to be distributed soon after.
