the total patient encounters that were rendered by the eligible professional in
any representative, continuous 90-day period either in the preceding calendar year
or in the twelve month timeframe preceding the date of attestation. The eligible
professional may not use the same 90-day timeframe to calculate patient volume in
different program years.
(B) The patient encounter
calculation method based on the patient volume of the group requires that:
(i) For program year 2011
or 2012, the eligible professional must divide the group’s total Medicaid
encounters by the group’s total patient encounters in any representative,
continuous 90-day period in the preceding calendar year;

patients assigned to the eligible professional’s panel in any representative,
90-day period either in the preceding calendar year or during the twelve month timeframe
preceding the attestation date, provided at least one Medicaid encounter took place
with the individual during the 24 months before the beginning of the 90-day period,
to the eligible professional’s unduplicated needy individual encounters rendered
same 90-day period;
(II) Divide the result calculated
above in section (2)(d)(C)(ii)(I) by the sum of the total patients assigned to the

of the 90-day period, plus all of the unduplicated patient encounters in the same
90-day period; and
(III) Not use the same 90-day
timeframe to calculate patient volume in different program years;
(D) The patient panel calculation
method based on the patient volume of the group requires that:
(i) For program year 2011
or 2012, the eligible professional must:
(I) Add the total needy individual
patients assigned to the group’s panel in any representative 90-day period
in the prior calendar year, provided at least one needy individual encounter took
place with the patient in the preceding calendar year, to the group’s unduplicated
Medicaid encounters in the same 90-day period; and
(II) Divide the result calculated
above in section (2)(d)(D)(i)(I) by the sum of the total patients assigned to the
group’s panel in the same 90-day period, provided at least one encounter took
place with the patient during the preceding calendar year, plus all of the unduplicated
patient encounters in the same 90-day period;
(ii) For program year 2013
and later, the eligible professional must:
(I) Add the total needy individual
patients assigned to the group’s panel in any representative, 90-day period

the attestation date, provided at least one needy individual encounter took place
with the individual during the 24 months before the beginning of the 90-day period,
to the group’s unduplicated Medicaid encounters that same 90-day period;
(II) Divide the result calculated
above in section (2)(d)(D)(ii)(I) by the sum of the total patients assigned to the
group’s panel in the same 90-day period, provided at least one encounter took
place with the patient during the 24 months before the beginning of the 90-day period,
plus all of the unduplicated patient encounters in the same 90-day period; and
(III) Not use the same 90-day
timeframe to calculate patient volume in different program years.

(5) Payments are disbursed
to an eligible hospital following verification of eligibility for the program year.
An eligible hospital is paid the aggregate incentive amount over three years of
qualified participation in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program:
(a) The payment structure
as listed in Table 165-0100-1 is as follows:
(A) The first payment incentive
amount is equal to 50 percent of the aggregate EHR amount;
(B) The second payment incentive
amount is equal to 40 percent of the aggregate EHR amount; and
(C) The third payment incentive
amount is equal to 10 percent of the aggregate EHR amount;
(b) The aggregate EHR amount
is calculated as the product of the “overall EHR amount” times the “Medicaid
Share” as listed in Table 165-00100-2. The aggregate EHR amount is calculated
once for the first year participation and then paid over three years according to
the payment schedule:
(A) The overall EHR amount
for an eligible hospital is based upon a theoretical four years of payment the hospital
would receive and is the sum of the following calculation performed for each of
such four years. For each year, the overall EHR amount is the product of the initial
amount, the Medicare share, and the transition factor:
(i) The initial amount as
listed in Table 165-0100-3 is equal to the sum of the base amount, which is set
at $2,000,000 for each of the theoretical four years plus the discharge-related
amount that is calculated for each of the theoretical four years:
(I) For initial amounts calculated
in program years 2011 or 2012, the discharge-related amount is $200 per discharge
for the 1,150th through the 23,000th discharge, based upon the total discharges
for the eligible hospital (regardless of source of payment) from the hospital fiscal
year that ends during the federal fiscal year (FFY) prior to the FFY year that serves
as the first payment year. No discharge-related amount is added for discharges prior
to the 1,150th or any discharges after the 23,000th;
(II) For initial amounts
calculated in program year 2013 or later, the discharge-related amount is $200 per
discharge for the 1,150th through the 23,000th discharge, based upon the total discharges
for the eligible hospital (regardless of source of payment) from the hospital fiscal
year that ends before the FFY that serves as the first payment year. No discharge-related
amount is added for discharges prior to the 1,150th or any discharges after the
23,000th;
(III) For purposes of calculating
the discharge-related amount for the last three of the theoretical four years of
payment, discharges are assumed to increase each year by the hospital’s average
annual rate of growth; negative rates of growth must also be applied. Average annual
rate of growth is calculated as the average of the annual rate of growth in total
discharges for the most recent three years for which data are available per year.
(ii) The Medicare share that
equals 1;
(iii) The transition factor
that equals:
(I) 1 for the first of the
theoretical four years;
(II) 0.75 for the second
of the theoretical four years;
(III) 0.5 for the third of
the theoretical four years; and
(IV) 0.25 for the fourth
of the theoretical four years;
(B) The Medicaid share for
an eligible hospital is equal to a fraction:
(i) The numerator for the
FFY and with respect to the eligible hospital is the sum of:
(I) The estimated number
of inpatient-bed-days that are attributable to Medicaid individuals; and
(II) The estimated number
of inpatient-bed-days that are attributable to individuals who are enrolled in a
managed or coordinated care organization, a pre-paid inpatient health plan, or a
pre-paid ambulatory health plan administered under 42 CFR Part 438;
(ii) The denominator is the
product of:
(I) The estimated total number
of inpatient-bed-days with respect to the eligible hospital during such period;
and
(II) The estimated total
amount of the eligible hospital’s charges during such period, not including
any charges that are attributable to charity care, divided by the estimated total
amount of the hospital’s charges during such period;
(iii) In computing inpatient-bed-days
for the Medicaid share, an eligible hospital may not include either of the following:
(I) Estimated inpatient-bed-days
attributable to individuals that may be made under Medicare Part A; or
(II) Inpatient-bed-days attributable
to individuals who are enrolled with a Medicare Advantage organization under Medicare
Part C;
(iv) If an eligible hospital’s
charity care data necessary to calculate the portion of the formula for the Medicaid
share are not available, the eligible hospital’s data on uncompensated care
may be used to determine an appropriate proxy for charity care but must include
a downward adjustment to eliminate bad debt from uncompensated care data if bad
debt is not otherwise differentiated from uncompensated care. Auditable data sources
must be used; and
(v) If an eligible hospital’s
data necessary to determine the inpatient bed-days attributable to Medicaid managed
care patients are not available, that amount is deemed to equal 0. In the absence
of an eligible hospital’s data necessary to compute the percentage of inpatient
bed days that are not charity care as described under subparagraph (B)(ii)(II) in
this section, that amount is deemed to be 1.
(6) The aggregate EHR amount
is determined by the state from which the eligible hospital receives its first incentive
payment. If a hospital receives incentive payments from other states in subsequent
years, total incentive payments received over all payment years of the program can
be no greater than the aggregate EHR amount calculated by the state from which the
eligible hospital received its first incentive payment.
