40 Medicare Update 40

41 UMHS CMS Payment Processing and Distribution to POs CMS does not have a mechanism to pay POs directly To accommodate this, CMS sends individual line item remittances to UMHS (as they did for practice transformation to the practices). Though not ideal, CMS will not change their practice – thus UMHS must receive, reconcile and then distribute payments Work is underway and a front-end application has been built to: -Reconcile claims with member lists -Calculate PO payments -Produce PO payment summary This will result in a payment delay for the first set of care coordination payments. Goal is to distribute to POs by early June. Earlier if at all possible. Afterward UMHS will work to get on a regular cycle of payment distribution.
