Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. Reimbursement for all Louisiana Medicaid recipients who receive outpatient services in an out-of-state hospital, including those recipients up to the age of 21, shall be calculated as follows:

1. Outpatient services provided in out-of-state hospitals that are subject to a fee schedule in-state shall be paid at the fee schedule amounts utilized for in-state non-rural, non-state hospitals.

2. Outpatient services provided in out-of-state hospitals that are not subject to a fee schedule in-state shall be paid at the annual average cost to charge ratio calculated from the filed Medicaid cost reports for in-state non-rural, non-state hospitals multiplied by the percent of allowable cost as specified in §6115 that is in effect for the applicable time period for in-state non-rural, non-state hospitals. This ratio shall be applied to the billed charges for covered claims submitted by out-of-state hospitals to determine payment for non-fee schedule services.
