Summary
Maryland MCOs must now disburse quarterly Care Management Fees (CMFs) to Medicaid Advanced Primary Care Program providers within 15 business days after each quarter ends, with specific remittance note requirements. Failure to meet deadlines or notify MDH of delays may result in sanctions.
Action Required
For Maryland Medicaid Advanced Primary Care Program participants: Monitor quarterly CMF payments from MCOs, which should arrive within 15 business days after each quarter. Verify remittance notes specify 'MAPCP Q[x] CY[xx] CMF Payment' format for proper tracking. If payments are delayed beyond 15 business days, contact your MCO as this may indicate compliance issues.
