Encore Broadcast of Medicare Like Rates for Contract Health Services

We are pleased to present the next in our monthly satellite broadcast series created for providers in Indian Country. These programs serve as a path to open communication, providing information and promoting discussion about Medicare, Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP), and other issues important to the health of our people.

This is re-broadcast of a program originally shown in September, 2007. It covers how Medicare-like rates help reduce contract health service expenditures and extend the use of contract health services (CHS) funding. You’ll learn about the following:

• When the rule applies
• What services are covered
• How to compute and verify the rates charged by hospitals, and
• What other payments or co-payments may be due

This will be an encore broadcast and we will not be able to take live questions. Please email your questions during the show to MedicineDish@cms.hhs.gov

Materials related to this broadcast will be posted on the CMS AI/AN website at http://www.cms.gov under American Indian Alaska Native Center.
