This SPA sets forth APM payments for dates of service from April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 to be equal to the FQHC's medical Prospective Payment System (PPS) encounter rate plus an additional add-on payment in accordance with a schedule based on the volume of e-consults described in the SPA. This change applies to FQHCs with an average quarterly Medicaid medical encounter volume of more than 30,000 encounters for a quarterly incentive payment and that meet any other applicable criteria as set forth in the SPA.
