8. WY MEDICAID PCMH 2019 REQUIREMENTS
For 2019 we are requiring all PCMHs to report on a minimum of 12 CQMs. We do have all 50 CQMs in the portal.
CQMs will need to be entered into the PCMH portal by the 20th day, after the end of the quarter. If they are not entered by that time you will not be eligible for payment.
A minimum of 20 CCDs (or 20% of Medicaid volume, whichever is lower) will need to be pulled and reviewed monthly, however we would recommend that you pull and review a CCD for all your Medicaid patients.
Formal recognition in 2019 is not required for new participating clinics, but we do ask that you be in the process of recognition.
You will need to be a recognized practice for program year 2020.
