Section 410-147-0480 - Cost Statement Instructions(1) The Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division) requires federally qualified health centers (FQHC) to submit Cost Statements (DMAP 3027).(2) Rural health clinics (RHCs) can choose to submit either their Medicare Cost Report or the Cost Statement (DMAP 3027). If the RHC files a Medicare Cost Report, the Division may request additional information.(3) The Division reimburses some services, items and supplies fee-for-service, outside of a FQHC or RHC's Prospective Payment System (PPS) encounter rate. For this reason, clinics must exclude the costs for the following items from the cost statement: (a) Contraceptive supplies and contraceptive medications (see OAR 410-147-0280);(b) Pharmacy. Requires separate enrollment, refer to OAR chapter 410, division 121, Pharmaceutical Services Program Rulebook for specific information;(c) Durable medical equipment and supplies. Requires separate enrollment, refer to OAR chapter 410, division 122, Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS);(d) Targeted case management (TCM) services. Requires separate enrollment, see OAR 410-147-0610, and refer to OAR chapter 410, division 138, Targeted Case Management for specific information; and.(e) Comprehensive environmental lead investigation (refer to OAR 410-130-0245, Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment Program).(4) Payment for services provided by FQHCs and RHCs is in accordance with 42 USC 1396 a (bb). In general, a Prospective Payment System (PPS) encounter rate is calculated on a per visit basis that is equal to the average of reasonable and allowable costs incurred by a clinic for furnishing services included in the State Plan under Title XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act. The rate is calculated by dividing the total costs incurred by an FQHC or RHC for furnishing services by the total number of clinic encounters as defined in OAR 410-147-0500. A clinic must submit a Cost Statement (DMAP 3027) to the Division: (a) For established clinics during an adjustment to the clinic's rate based on a change in scope of clinic services (see OAR 410-147-0360);(b) For new clinics (see OAR 410-147-0360); or(c) If there is a change of ownership, the new owner can submit the Cost Statement (DMAP 3027) or Medicare Cost Report within 30 days from the date of change of ownership to have a new PPS encounter rate calculated (see also OAR 410-147-0320 (8).(5) The Cost Statement (DMAP 3027) must include all documents required by OAR 410-147-0320.(6) Each section must be completed if applicable.(7) Page 1 - Statistical Information:(a) Enter the full name of the FQHC or RHC, the address and telephone number, the fiscal reporting period, legacy Division provider number, current NPI numbers and associated taxonomy code(s); the name of the persons or organizations having legal ownership of the FQHC or RHC; and all provider and health care practitioners as defined on the DMAP 3027 Cost Statement.(b) The Cost Statement (DMAP 3027) must be prepared, signed and dated by both the FQHC or RHC accountant and an authorized responsible officer.(8) Page 2 - Part A - FQHC or RHC Practitioner Staff and Visits: (a) FTE Personnel: List the total number of staff by position;(b) Encounters: List the number of on-site and off-site encounters by staff (see OAR 410-147-0500, Total Encounters for Cost Reports).
