Starting in January, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin using the Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM) process to measure improper payments in the Texas Medicaid Program and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Physicians and other health care professionals will be required to give CMS medical record documentation to support the medical reviews that a federal review contractor will conduct for fee-for-service and primary care case management Medicaid and SCHIP claims.
More information about what this means to you can be found in the November/December 2007 Texas Medicaid Bulletin [PDF]. Scroll down to page 10. You can also call the Texas Medicaid Healthcare Partnership Contact Center at (800) 925-9126.
