19-284 Prop 56 Rates for 2019-2019

Date: 04/12/19

Approved rates and new codes added for specific physician services performed from July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has approved new Proposition 56 (Prop 56) supplemental payment rates. The new rates apply to the state fiscal year (FY) July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.

Supplemental payments are not part of the base provider compensation under the Provider Participation Agreement (PPA). They are also separate from contracting rates with primary care physicians (PCPs) or Community Care Independent Practice Association (CCIPA).

ADD THE PHYSICIAN NPI WITH TIN TO W-9 FORM

If a physician has not received any Prop 56 payments, the physician needs to send in an individual W-9 form by email or fax (see Where to send your W-9 form below). After receiving the individual physician’s W-9 form, payments will take about five weeks to process and send.

The form must include the physician’s:

·    National Provider Identifier (NPI) – If two NPI numbers are used (individual and group), include both NPI numbers where space is available

·    Individual taxpayer identification number (TIN)

Example:
