Medicaid Reimbursement Update – Colorado Children’s Healthcare Access Program Newsletter

“Effective January 1, 2015, Medicaid will reimburse covered office visit procedure codes and the vaccine administration procedure codes for all providers at a rate equal to 100% of the Medicare’s December 2014 reimbursement rate. The new rate will be available to all enrolled providers that submit fee schedule claims for office visits or vaccine administrations. The new reimbursement rate will be in place until June 2016.

These increased rates will take the place of The Affordable Care Act program, that pays attested primary care physicians a supplemental payment up to Medicare rates. This program ends December 31, 2014.  Supplemental payments will be made in 2015 for services that were rendered in 2014 under this program. Please contact Richard.Delaney@state.co.us with questions.
