This SPA establishes a fee schedule for freestanding birth center services provided on or after April 1, 2012. West Virginia submitted this amendment to comply with Section 2301 of the Affordable Care Act that amends Section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act which includes limited coverage and payment of services to Medicaid members by freestanding birthing center providers. Additionally, this SPA indicates that physicians, midwives, and other licensed practitioners are paid a separate fee for services performed in the freestanding birth center based on a procedure code.
