Reimbursement procedures for federally qualified health centers modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's reimbursement rules for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) that provide medical assistance. It requires FQHCs to submit detailed cost and visit reports within 90 days after each reporting period, using forms approved by the commissioner, and to provide copies of their Medicare cost reports as supporting documentation. The bill updates payment mechanisms, allowing FQHCs to choose between a prospective payment system or an alternative cost-based payment method (100% of Medicare-approved costs), effective January 1, 2021. These changes directly affect FQHCs operating in Minnesota that receive state medical assistance payments, ensuring consistent reporting and payment procedures aligned with federal requirements.
