Medicaid Payment Method Development

On average, the nation’s Medicaid programs pay about $600 billion annually to physicians, hospitals, nursing facilities, health plans and other providers. It’s no wonder that many states are looking for improved cost efficiency and greater payment value while increasing access to Medicaid services and quality of care.

The payment method development team at Conduent specializes in understanding standard health care industry payment methods such as DRG, RBRVS, APC, RUG and fee schedules. We have in-depth knowledge of MMIS and Medicaid claims processing systems as well as Medicaid programs and providers.

Our expertise has included a wide variety of projects such as:

• Design and implementation of DRG payment methods in six states
• Conduct one of the nation’s most in-depth analyses of variation in payment to all of a state’s hospitals across public and commercial payers

• Design and implementation of value-based payment methods for outpatient hospital care, nursing facilities, physicians and other providers and payers
