The Health Care Authority (HCA) sent a provider alert on April 11, 2023, regarding the end of the enhanced payment for services related to COVID-19 treatment for inpatient hospital services. The dates of service were listed incorrectly as “on and after May 11, 2023” to align with the ending of the public health emergency (PHE).
The PHE is effective through May 11, 2023. The ending of the enhanced payment will apply to dates of service on and after May 12, 2023.
This applies to inpatient hospital claims paid under the DRG method. Inpatient hospital providers must discontinue using the DR condition code after May 11, 2023.
Billing Guide and Fee Schedule
HCA will revise the Inpatient Hospital Services Billing Guide and the Inpatient Hospital Fee Schedule to reflect this change. See HCA’s Provider billing guides and fee schedules.
