Alabama Administrative Code › Title 560 - ALABAMA MEDICAID AGENCY › Chapter 560-X-1 - GENERAL › Section 560-X-1-.07 - Provider Rights And Responsibilities

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) In accordance with federal law, Medicaid
			 providers shall ensure that no person will, on the grounds of race, color,
			 creed, national origin, age or handicap, be denied the benefits of, be excluded
			 from participation in, or be subjected to discrimination under any program of
			 services provided by the Agency.
(2) Compliance with Federal Civil Rights and
			 Rehabilitation Acts is required of a providers' participating in the Alabama
			 Medicaid Program.
(3) Providers
			 have freedom of choice to accept or deny Medicaid payment for medically
			 necessary services rendered during a particular visit. This is true for new or
			 established patients. However, the provider (or their staff) must advise each
			 patient prior to services being rendered when Medicaid payment will not be
			 accepted, and the patient will be responsible for the bill. The fact that
			 Medicaid payment will not be accepted must be recorded in the patient's medical
			 record.
(4) Providers who agree to
			 accept Medicaid payment must agree to do so for all medically necessary
			 services rendered during a particular visit. For example, if pain management
			 services are provided to Medicaid recipients during labor and delivery, e.g.,
			 epidurals, spinal anesthetic, these services are considered by Medicaid to be
			 medically necessary when provided in accordance with accepted standards of
			 medical care in the community. These services are covered by, and billable to
			 Medicaid. Providers may not bill Medicaid recipients they have accepted as
			 patients for covered labor and delivery related pain management
			 services.
(5) Providers, including
			 those under contract, must be aware of participation requirements that may be
			 imposed due to managed care systems operating in the medical community. In
			 those areas operating under a managed care system, services offered by
			 providers may be limited to certain eligibility groups or certain geographic
			 locations.
(6) Providers must not
			 restrict, impede, or interfere with the delivery of services or care
			 coordination benefits for any Medicaid recipient whether or not the Provider is
			 providing such care.
