Policy and Methods for Establishing Payment Rates
Other than Inpatient Hospital and Long-Term-Care Facilities
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT CASE RATE PAYMENTS
ATTENDING PHYSICIAN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SERVICES
REIMBURSEMENT FOR EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES PROVIDED BY AN
ATTENDING PHYSICIAN IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) OF A HOSPITAL IS MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE ED CASE RATE METHODOLOGY. THE ED CASE RATE IS A TWO-TIERED
FEE SCREEN BASED ON WHETHER THE BENEFICIARY IS TREATED AND RELEASED FROM THE
ED, OR TREATED AND ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL OR TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL.
THE STANDARD MEDICAID FEE SCREENS ARE APPLIED TO OTHER SEPARATELY BILLABLE ED
PHYSICIAN SERVICES AND THE SERVICES OF OTHER PHYSICIANS (E.G. SPECIALISTS) WHO
PROVIDE EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OR OTHER SERVICES IN THE ED. WHEN BILLING
FOR THESE ADDITIONAL SERVICES, HEALTHCARE COMMON PROCEDURE CODING SYSTEM
(HCPCS) CODING CONVENTIONS AND MEDICAID PROGRAM GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED.
PAYMENT METHODOLOGY
PAYMENTS UTILIZING THE CASE RATE METHODOLOGY ARE CALCULATED BY USING A BLEND
OF THE CURRENT MEDICAID PAYMENT RATES FOR THE EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT
HCPCS CODES 99281-99285. THESE HCPCS CODES ARE RE-CALCULATED ANNUALLY BASED ON
THE RESOURCE BASED RELATIVE VALUE SCALE, AND THE HISTORIC UTILIZATION FOR THESE
CODES IN RELATION TO WHETHER A BENEFICIARY IS TREATED AND RELEASED OR TREATED
AND ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL.
CASE RATE PAYMENTS ARE THE SAME FOR BOTH GOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE PROVIDERS.
ED ATTENDING PHYSICIAN SERVICES AFFECTED BY THIS PAYMENT METHODOLOGY
ED ATTENDING PHYSICIAN SERVICES SUBJECT TO THE CASE RATE PAYMENT METHODOLOGY
ARE DEFINED AS HCPCS CODES:
•
99281 THROUGH 99285 FOR NEW OR ESTABLISHED PATIENT ED EVALUATION AND
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
FEE SCHEDULES
FEE SCHEDULES ARE UPDATED ANNUALLY USING THE RESOURCE-BASED RELATIVE VALUE
SCALE (RBRVS) JANUARY RELEASE. THE MICHIGAN MEDICAID FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE
QUALIFIED PROCEDURE CODES IS PUBLISHED ON THE MDHHS WEB SITE AT

Dear Tribal Chair and Health Director:
RE:
Attending Physician Emergency Department Case Rate
This letter, in compliance with Section 1902(a)(73) and Section 2107(e)(1)(C) of the Social Security Act, serves as
notice of intent to all Tribal Chairs and Health Directors of the request by the Michigan Department of Health and
Human Services (MDHHS) to submit a State Plan Amendment.
The purpose of the amendment is to update the Medicaid State Plan to include information describing the
reimbursement methodology for attending physicians rendering evaluation and management services in the
hospital emergency department setting. Attending physician reimbursement is made utilizing a two-tiered case
rate fee screen based upon whether the beneficiary is treated and released from the emergency department or
treated and admitted to the hospital. The State of Michigan expects this change to have little or no impact on
tribal members. The anticipated effective date of this State Plan amendment is January 1, 2016.
There is no public hearing scheduled for this State Plan Amendment. Input regarding this Amendment is highly
encouraged and comments regarding this Notice of Intent may be submitted to Lorna Elliott-Egan, MDHHS
Liaison to the Michigan Tribes. Lorna can be reached at 517-373-4963 or via e-mail at [email protected]. Please provide all input by November 21, 2015.
In addition, MDHHS is offering to set up group or individual meetings for the purposes of consultation in order to
discuss this Amendment, according to the tribes’ preference. This consultation meeting will allow tribes the
opportunity to address any concerns and voice any suggestions, revisions, or objections to be relayed to the
author of the proposal. If you would like additional information or wish to schedule a consultation meeting, please
contact Lorna Elliott-Egan at the telephone number or email address provided above.
MDHHS appreciates the continued opportunity to work collaboratively with you to care for the residents of our
state.
Sincerely,
Kathy Stiffler, Acting Director
Medical Services Administration
