Summary
Maryland Medicaid will now reimburse FQHC providers separately for Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) in addition to the standard FQHC encounter rate. This allows dual billing for both the contraceptive device and the visit when LARCs are provided.
Action Required
Immediately: FQHC billing teams must update billing procedures to submit separate claims for LARC devices and encounter visits for Maryland Medicaid patients. Update billing software to allow dual billing for contraceptive services. Train staff on new reimbursement methodology for LARC procedures.
