Summary

Health Net's Prop 56 Value-Based Payment (VBP) program pays add-on payments to Medi-Cal providers in Fresno, Kings and Madera counties for meeting specific measures in prenatal and postpartum care, early childhood care, chronic disease management and behavioral health integration. Payments apply to services performed on or after July 1, 2019, when submitted as a clean claim or encounter within one year from the date of service with a qualifying CPT and/or ICD-10 code. Payment amounts are higher for at-risk members, for example $70 for a prenatal care visit and $105 for an at-risk prenatal care visit, and $80 for diabetes care and $120 for at-risk diabetes care.

What to do

Action · 8 steps
01Make sure the individual (Type 1) NPI is on each claim or encounter in the rendering or ordering provider field, or in the prescribing provider field if the rendering or ordering field is blank, or in the billing provider field if those fields are blank, because payment cannot be made without it.
02Submit a current W-9 form that includes the rendering physician's current address, individual TIN and individual (Type 1) NPI, along with the contact information sheet and a list of providers with the same TIN and NPI.
03Email it to HNCA_W9_Submissions@CENTENE.COM with 'Prop 56 W9' in the subject line, or fax it to 1-833-794-0423 with a cover sheet marked 'Prop 56 W9' and 'PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION'.
04Submit a clean claim or encounter within one year from the date of service with a qualifying CPT and/or ICD-10 code, and if contracting through a participating physician group, make sure the group submits encounters timely and accurately.
05Services performed from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 were under review, and the next review covers services from January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
06For encounters submitted to the PPG, submit a payment dispute by email to HNCA_EncDisputes@healthnet.com with 'Prop 56 VBP Grievance' in the subject line, including the reason for the dispute, impacted TINs and NPIs, and an Excel spreadsheet with patient name, date of birth, CIN, dates of service, CPTs with any modifiers, and patient control number or PPG claim number.
07For claims submitted to the medical plan, follow the dispute resolution section of the Medi-Cal Provider Manual.
