PERM Audit Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM) measures improper payments in Medicaid and CHIP and produces error rates for each program. The current PERM cycle is reviewing Medicaid and CHIP Fee For Service (FFS) payments made by states October 1, 2015 – September 30, 2016. Cycle 2, which includes West Virginia, closed August 15, 2017, and we will receive the results in November 2017. Our next cycle will run October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019. 3
Medical Home Eligible Medical Home provider types are General Practice, Family Practice, Internal Medicine, and Pediatricians. Any Physician Assistant (PA) or Nurse Practitioners (NPs) practicing under these specialties is considered a “back - up” Medical Home provider and will not be assessed a copay when the supervising physician is the named Medical Home provider. Please note: the physician group/facility must also select to be a Medical Home provider along with the rendering provider. To become a Medical Home provider, please contact Molina Provider Enrollment at 1-888-483-0793. Encourage your patients to enroll in the Medical Home program, WVCHIP will waive the copay for sick visits and increase your reimbursement by the copay amount. WVCHIP should not be confused with Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA) who increased their Medical Home copays effective July 1, 2017. 4
Provider Enrollment The Affordable Care Act requires all providers to enroll or revalidate their enrollment information under new enrollment screening criteria. Enrollment and revalidation is mandatory for both Medicaid and WVCHIP providers. Enrollment in Medicaid does not fully enroll the provider in WVCHIP. Provisional enrollment will end September 30, 2017. Any provider not fully enrolled in the WVCHIP Plan will be terminated effective September 30, 2017 and claims will no longer be paid. To enroll in WVCHIP, contact Molina at 1-888-483-0793, or 304- 348-3360, or online at www.wvmmis.com. 5
Out-of-State Providers WVCHIP will waive the out-of-state prior authorization requirement if the provider agrees to accept WVCHIP in-state fees as payment in full with no balance billing to the member. This agreement can be made during provider enrollment or any time thereafter by calling the provider enrollment department at Molina. WVCHIP uses the PEIA fee schedules. Go to www.peia.wv.gov to see PEIA fees. Dental fees can be found at: http://www.dhhr.wv.gov/bms/FEES/Pages/default.aspx 6
