E. Resource Prioritization and Allocation Recommendations Committee (RPARC) – Marty Clemmons, Chair
The committee met on October 9, 2014 at Suncoast Hospice in Clearwater.
Sara Sullivan, QM Consultant, presented the results of the 2013-2014 Assessment of the Administrative Mechanism (AAM) for the Part A Grantee. Overall the AAM generated very positive responses from the providers. Due to the changes in the billing process over the past year, provider reimbursement has posed some problems when evaluating the AAM.
The implementation of CAREWare and the paper billing process involved with CAREWare implementation through a third party administrator created a very cumbersome process for providers.
Action Required
The committee recommends that the Care Council members adopt the following motion:
THAT THE CARE COUNCIL APPROVES THE 2013-2014 ASSESSMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE MECHANISM (GRANTEE ASSESSMENT)
The committee voiced no questions. The AAM passed unanimously.
