4. HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT PUBLIC HEALTH LAW §2807-j The HCRA law requires Article 28 general hospitals, D&TCs providing ambulatory surgical services, and comprehensive D&TCs to pay a surcharge to the Public Goods Pool on certain net patient services revenue.

5. Patient Services Revenue : Defined as all moneys received for, or on account of, all patient services related to a preadmission, inpatient, outpatient, or post-discharge visit, including all items or services as are necessary for such care, except where excluded in §2807-j .

6. Examples of Types of Third Party Payors* That Would Be Considered Non-Electing if No Election Submitted • Any not-for-profit insurer, licensed in NYS or elsewhere, (if licensed in NYS they would be termed Article 43 Corporations); • Commercial insurers, licensed in NYS, or elsewhere; This can include HMOs • HMOs organized under Article 44 of the NYS Public Health Law • Self funded plans domiciled in NYS or elsewhere; This includes welfare plans, certain trusts • Other Insurer types, including HMOs, licensed out of state; This includes foreign insurers • State and local Government payors other than NYS; Example: Other state’s govermental programs except Medicaid *This is a list of the most common types of payors that providers receive patient revenue from and is not meant to be an all inclusive list.

7. PATIENT SERVICES REVENUE FOR WHICH THE HOSPITAL IS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY A SURCHARGE ON Revenue received from the patient for: • 1. Coinsurance • 2. Self pay or uninsured • 3. Copays and deductibles for which the provider has not received written release from the payor stating they are paying the associated surcharge Revenue received from non-electing payors –third party payors who have an election decision to make and have not made an election. A list of all electing payors (current or past) can be found on www.nyhealth.gov/nysdoh/hcra/hcrahome.htm or www.hcrapools.org entitled “Elector List.” Revenue received from “unspecified” payors – payors who are not obligated to make an election decision because they are not a third party “every day payor” or have been deemed by the Department to be unspecified. Example 1: Foreign countries that have nationalized healthcare making payment directly for claims. Example 2: employer paying a workers compensation claim, rather than submitting the claim to their workers compensation carrier. Revenue received from NYS agencies/programs authorized to pay NYS Medicaid inpatient rates, NYS counties for county inmates, or NYC Corrections, that are not on the Elector List (at the current NYS Medicaid rate of 7.04%). Details discussed on the next screen.

8. PHL § § 2807-j(2)(b), (d) and 2807-c (1) (a-1) refers to those NY governmental agencies whose payments are subject to the 7.04% The only NY governmental entities that have a surcharge obligation, at 7.04%, are as follows: • Those making payments for inpatient claims and authorized to pay NYS Medicaid inpatient rates • Local correctional facilities (county inmates and NYC Corrections inmates) • All other NY governmental entities are exempt. Examples can be found on our May 27, 1997 letter: http://www.health.ny.gov/nysdoh/hcra/legis.htm • Hospitals should ensure that they assess the 7.04% on their claims if they will be billing the agency or facility and they are not listed on the Elector List. If they are billing the Medicaid Program directly, then do not assess the 7.04% since the Medicaid Program pays the surcharge directly to the PGP. A list of the known ones are found on the next screen. A list of the individual facilities are found on subsequent screens. • If the agency is authorized to pay the Medicaid inpatient rates for services provided to eligible individuals, then all revenue received from them for both inpatient and outpatient Medicaid payments is subject to the 7.04%. Again, if the hospital is billing the Medicaid Program directly, do not assess the surcharge since the program pays the surcharge directly to the PGP. • If the agency’s program is not authorized to pay the Medicaid inpatient rates, then they are exempt from the surcharge on any inpatient or outpatient claim.

9. REVENUE FROM NYS AGENCIES/FACILITIES SUBJECT TO THE NYS MEDICAID SURCHARGE RATE OF 7.04% • NYS Dept of Corrections (DOC)- payments for prison inmates • NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH)- payments for patients residing in their facilities • NYS Counties making payment for county Inmates • NYC Corrections making payment for city Inmates • NYS Liquidation Bureau’s Security Fund – making payments for insolvent NYS licensed insurers from the Security Fund The above list is not necessarily a comprehensive listing of state governmental agencies that have programs that are only subject to the 7.04% NYS Medicaid surcharge rate. These are the known ones. The Department will research any other programs brought to our attention.

Kline Institute New York Psychiatric Institute Pilgrim Psychiatric Center Queens

12. Non-electors Subject to the GME: Corporations Organized and Operating in Accordance with Article 43 of the NYS Insurance Law 1 • Not for Profit Insurers and HMOs 2 Corporations Operating in Accordance with Article 44 of the NYS PHL • HMOs in NYS 3 Self Funded Plans Providing Inpatient Coverage – regardless of insurance type except when providing coverage described in the next screen • Regardless of Domicile Insurers and HMOS Authorized to Write Accident and Health Policies (regardless of which state/country they are licensed) 4

13. Non-electors NOT Subject to the GME: • NYS governmental agencies • Workers Compensation carriers providing coverage under NYS Law • Auto no-fault carriers providing coverage under NYS Law • Volunteer Firefighters providers of coverage under NYS Law • Volunteer Ambulance Workers providers of coverage under NYS Law • Indemnity Policies that do not provide inpatient coverage on an expense incurred basis, but rather pay a fixed dollar per day for each as an inpatient. (Most of these policies pay the member rather than the hospital, and if patient has no other insurance, patient is to be treated as a self-pay with no GME.

14. Fixed Dollar Patient Portions Hospital’s Responsibility to Determine if Obligated to Surcharge on Fixed Dollar Patient Portion 1 In fixed dollar patient portions such as fixed dollar co-pays or deductibles, electing payors have a choice between two options on how to pay the associated surcharge Hospitals are obligated to determine which option they’ve chosen, otherwise are obligated themselves 2 The Electing Payor’s Choices of Surcharge Payment Options: 3 • Payor pays claim by utilizing the second billing example found • on the DOH website. Hospital pays the surcharge out of fixed dollar amount and gets reimbursed by payor • Payor pays the associated surcharge on the fixed dollar • amount directly to the Public Goods Pool via payor report

15. Fixed Dollar Patient Portions (continued) 3 Proper Reporting of Copays: • If payor chooses #1 above, hospitals will report the fixed dollar payment received from the • insured patient on Line #10 of their PGP report, entitled: “Self-Pay Uninsured…” • Hospital pays the surcharge out of the fixed dollar amount and gets reimbursed by payor • If payor chooses #2 above, and notifies hospital of such choice, the hospital will report the • fixed dollar payment received from the patient on the following lines: • On Hospital Inpatient portion of the PGP report: Line 17 • On Hospital Outpatient portion of the PGP report: Line 19 3. In the absence of the electing payor notifying the hospital that they have chosen option #2 above, the hospital’s “default” is to report the fixed dollar payment on line 10 of the PGP 4. A non-electing payor, paying for covered services, must utilize Choice #1 (under Box 2) above, and the hospital must report revenue on line 12, 12a or 12b

16. Revenue Received for Physician Billings Effective with dates of service 4/1/11, Public Health Law §2807-j (3)(a)(v) now exempts surcharges on revenue received for all discrete physician billings (M.D.s or D.Os) Physician services MUST be billed on a separate claim form, separate from services provided (HCFA 1500 or 837P) This change in law includes discretely billed employed physician services

17. Foreign Payors and Patients Foreign Insurance Companies and Medical Assistance Companies 1 Foreign insurance companies are insurers licensed in other countries Medical assistance companies act as the conduit for claim payments between the foreign insurance company and providers in U.S.; administer travel policies for expatriates Must make an election like any payor in order to pay current elector rate to the PGP If no election is made, hospital must pay the nonelector rate to the PGP currently at 37.90% and if an inpatient claim and an accident and health policy, or a self funded plan (as known in U.S.), the regional GME percentage 2 Foreign Countries with Nationalized Health Plans or Paid Directly by Foreign Governments • Deemed Unspecified payor; pay directly to hospital when billed, at self pay rate currently at 9.63% • A List of those countries with known nationalized health plans can be found on our DOH Web site under “Elector List”

18. Foreign Payors and Patients (continued) Foreign Diplomatic Agents Exempt from all surcharges if protected under their diplomatic mission Those protected by the diplomatic mission carry exemption paperwork 3

19. Surchargeability of Personal Items Exemption of Personal Items Revenue from billed patient personal items, not related to the medical service such as TVs, telephones, and private rooms are not subject to the HCRA surcharge since such items are not related to the medical service provided

20. Medicare Traditional Medicare Exemptions: 1 Revenue received for Medicare covered services is exempt from surcharge; includes revenue received from: the Medicare program an insurer contracted to administer on behalf of the Medicare program a supplemental plan such as a Medigap policy, or, the beneficiary themselves 2 Medigap/Supplemental Policies Pay for certain out-of-pocket expenses that Medicare covers but does not pay in full Also can cover certain services that are not payable by Medicare due to: Non-covered services Exhaustion of benefits Surcharges apply to services not covered, at rates based on election status of payor, but no GME Per Unit of Payment Surcharge (if a non-elector)

21. Medicare (continued) 3 Medicare Advantage Part C Medicare Advantage Part C plans supply a person with all of their Part A and Part B benefits, plus, depending on the plan chosen, may cover services that traditional Medicare will not, like dental, vision, and unlimited inpatient days ANY service for which Medicare Advantage pays for, is exempt from the surcharge

26. DISTRIBUTION CHART cont 5 Note 2 – Upper Payment Limit Payments to Public and Voluntary Hospitals, Supplemental Medicaid UPL Payments to Voluntary Hospitals, Non-Public General Hospitals rate adjustments and off-line Medicaid payments for Hospital Recruitment and Retention of Health Care Workers are paid directly to hospitals by DOH’s MMIS. MMIS pays the related surcharge on these hospital adjustments directly to the HCRA pool. Consequently, these revenues are not exempt from the surcharge. However, since this revenue is exempt from the 1% Statewide (SW) Assessment, in order for hospitals to take this deduction on line 2(f) of the 1% SW report, hospitals should report this revenue on line 2(i) of the Public Goods Pool (PGP) report (not line 5(a) where other NYS Medicaid Program dollars are reported. This avoids double payment of the surcharge and also assumes the revenue is included on line 1 of the PGP report. Special Note: Each of the payments listed in this chart must be reported on line 1 of the Public Goods Pool report.

27. Amnesty Provision An amendment to the Health Care Reform Act was enacted April 15, 2011, that waives statutorily required interest and penalty if delinquent obligations due, (based on estimated or actual amounts), under Public Health Law (PHL) 2807-j, 2807-s and 2807-t, for reporting periods prior to January 1, 2011, are filed and paid in full between the dates of April 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011. Who Should Take Advantage of this Opportunity: Providers who have not filed a monthly report to the Public Goods Pool for report periods prior to January 1, 2011. (Prior to collection action initiated by DOH). Providers who have not fully paid owed surcharge obligations on patient services revenue received prior to January 1, 2011. Providers who discover an additional amount due to the PGP on patient services revenue received prior to January 1, 2011. Obligations not covered by the Amnesty Provision: Any interest or penalty amount that has been paid to, or collected previously by, DOH. Any surcharge or assessment payments made in response to a final audit finding issued by DOH or its designee. Any delinquent amount (whether estimated or actual) that has been referred to NYS Medicaid for recoupment. Any delinquent amount (whether estimated or actual) that has been referred to the NYS Attorney General’s Office for collection.

28. DELINQUENCY PROCESS Delinquency Notice Estimated Billing Process Action Taken for Non-Compliance

29. Delinquency Process 1 Delinquency Notice Delinquency notifications are sent via email and hardcopy mailing around the 10th of each month (adjusted for weekends and holidays) 2 Estimated Billing Process 1. Delinquency letters and bills are mailed on a quarterly basis. The hospital has sixty days from the date of the letter to file delinquent report(s) and submit payment 2. A final notice is mailed with updated bill giving hospitals thirty additional days If delinquencies are not resolved within that time period, amount is deemed final and is not subject to revision Action is taken on the outstanding liability 3.

30. Delinquency Process (continued) 3 Action Taken for Non-Compliance: Recoup from future Medicaid claim cycle checks paid by the state • Offset against Medically Indigent/High Need distributions • Submit referral to the state’s Attorney General’s Office to pursue legal collection
