CHA has developed for members a new infographic on the Hospital Fee Program, highlighting the expected changes between the 2017-19 Hospital Fee Program (V) and the 2019-21 Hospital Fee Program (VI). The infographic illustrates the shift in payment structure toward managed care “directed payments,” which requires a hospital to be a network provider to receive a payment.
In September, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) submitted a final draft of the Hospital Fee Program (VI) fee and payment model to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). While the model should be considered a final draft until the state receives official CMS approval, CHA and DHCS do not expect significant changes during the CMS review and approval process.
