  4. 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 FFS payments made by states October 1, 2015–September 30, 2016. • Requests for provider medical records associated with the sampled FFS claims began in May/June 2016 and will continue through July 2017. • Providers will have 75 calendar days from the date of the request letter to submit the record to CNI. • CNI will conduct reminder phone calls and send written requests to providers if records are not received. If the records are not received within 75 days, an error is assessed for lack of documentation.

  5. PERM Audit (cont) In the 2013 FY PERM audit our two largest errors were: • No Documentation and Insufficient Documentation • Provider Enrollment guidelines not established/followed CMS PERM Website: https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Monitoring-Programs/Medicaid-and-CHIP-Compliance/PERM

  6. Medical Home • Eligible Medical Home Provider Types are General Practice, Family Practice, Internal Medicine, and Pediatricians. Any PA or NPs practicing under these specialtiesis 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.

  7. 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. Provisional enrollment ended June 30, 2016.
