Medicaid State Plan Amendment #22-0015 Update Hospital Inpatient Cross Reference Public Notice

Notice: Update Hospital Inpatient Cross Reference Medicaid State Plan Amendment #22-0015 Public Notice is now available online

Description: HCA intends to submit Medicaid State Plan Amendment (SPA) 22-0015 to update the statutory reference authorizing a hospital opting out of the inpatient “Full Cost” Payment Program if the hospital meets the criteria for the inpatient rate enhancement. The reference to WAC 182-550-3830 is outdated and is being replaced with RCW 74.09.5225. This is a “housekeeping” action and does not change current policy or practice.
