MA Mileage reimbursement question


Question on MA Mileage



We are using the state RUCA formula for submitting MA transportation claims (A0090) and are combining round trips into one service line.  The problem we are running into is that we are being reimbursed only .22 even when the zip code is considered “rural”.



One suggestion we have received is to bill different service lines for each one-way trip instead of combining into a single round trip, using a modifier to indicate the return trip.  There is no modifier listed in the link below.   In the past, trips with the same service date would be rejected. 



See the MHCP Provider Manual, Transportation Services:




Has anyone else experienced this issue?  How did you modify the billing process?

Scanned documents resolution


Can you send this question out to the group & post on the blog?



Does any county have a board resolution that says our scanned document is the original document?



If so, could I get a copy of it.



Thanks.

Scanning Warrant Registers


We are just starting to scan our fiscal department’s paperwork.  We have pretty much everything figured out with one exception… the Warrant Registers because of the signatures.  Everything that we are finding is saying permanent.  Our question to you all is, does permanent mean on paper or can we scan and the scan is treated as the original?  We will be moving into a new space as an agency in December and the less paper we have, the better!  Warrant Registers are the one thing that we have a lot of!



Thank you,

Unloaded Miles Question


Wadena County has been paying unloaded miles to volunteer drivers for those that are on PMAP and MA fee for service.  We have been doing this because we were able to offset our cost by the health plan reimbursement rates.  Now our primary provider (SCHA) does not reimburse the return trip unloaded miles.  We are looking closely at this cost for our 2019 budget.



Does your county pay drivers unloaded miles that are unreimbursed by health plans and if so, how much is your annual cost funded by the county?



Thank you.
