Enclosed is a copy of the new state plan pages and attachments to be incorporated within a separate section at the end of South Dakota’s approved state plan:

Dear Ms. Malsam-Rysdon:
Enclosed is an approved copy of South Dakota’s state plan amendment (SPA) 13-0015-MM, which was submitted to CMS on August 28, 2013. SPA 13-0015-MM incorporates the MAGI- based mandatory and optional eligibility groups’ requirements into South Dakota’s Medicaid state plan in accordance with the Affordable Care Act. The effective date of this SPA is January 1, 2014.
In a separate email which will be sent out tomorrow, we will send a copy of the following state plan pages and attachments to be incorporated within a separate section at the end of South Dakota’s approved state plan:
S14, S25, S28, S30, S32, S33, S50, S51, S52, S53, S54, S55, S57, S59
In addition we will send a summary of the state plan pages which are superseded by SPA 13- 0015-MM, which should also be incorporated into a separate section in the front of the state plan.

South Dakota Division of Economic Assistance | Preface and General Information June 14 3 PREFACE Medicaid is a joint federal and state program established in 1965, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The purpose of the Medicaid Program is to assure the availability of quality medical care for low-income individuals and families through payments for specific covered services. The Medicaid program was implemented in South Dakota in 1967. The Department of Social Services (DSS) is the single-state agency responsible for administering the Medicaid program in South Dakota. The Division of Medical Services oversees the Medicaid Program. Eligibility determinations for the Medicaid program are performed by the Division of Economic Assistance. The Hospital Presumptive Eligibility Program allows qualified hospitals to make temporary eligibility determinations in accordance with federal law and state policy for the Medicaid program while an applicant’s full Medicaid application is processed by the Department of Social Services. This guide contains the policies and procedures governing the Hospital Presumptive Eligibility Program in South Dakota. Questions about this guide may be directed to: South Dakota Department of Social Services Division of Economic Assistance 700 Governors Drive Pierre, SD 57501 Phone: (605) 773-4678 Fax: (605) 773-7183 The policies and procedures found in this manual are subject to review and amendment by the South Dakota Department of Social Services.

South Dakota Division of Economic Assistance | Preface and General Information June 14 4 GENERAL INFORMATION HOSPITAL PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY Under 42 CFR §435.1110, a “qualified hospital” may elect to make presumptive eligibility determinations based on a State’s policies and procedures. Presumptive Eligibility is a temporary medical assistance category that allows an individual to receive covered medical services while his/her application for full Medicaid is processed. A hospital may elect to make Presumptive Eligibility determinations for one or more of the following groups: x Low Income Parents and Caretaker Relatives x Medicaid Children Under Age 19 x Pregnant Women x Former Foster Care Children Age 18 to 26 Hospitals must identify the eligibility groups that the hospital elects to make Presumptive Eligibility determinations for on the South Dakota Hospital Presumptive Eligibility Application. Hospitals may not delegate the authority to determine presumptive eligibility to another entity. COVERED SERVICES The following services are eligible for reimbursement during a Presumptive Eligibility period: x Low Income Parents and Caretaker Relatives, Children Under age 19, and Former Foster Care Individuals are eligible to receive all Medicaid covered services. x Pregnant Women are eligible for ambulatory prenatal care. Ambulatory prenatal care includes pregnancy-related Medicaid covered services except charges associated with inpatient care in a hospital or other medical institution and charges associated with delivery of the baby, including miscarriage. A woman is allowed only one presumptive eligibility period per pregnancy. DURATION OF PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY PERIOD The presumptive eligibility period begins with the date on which a qualified hospital determines that the individual is eligible. An individual is allowed one presumptive eligibility period every two calendar years. A pregnant woman is allowed one presumptive eligibility period per pregnancy.

Kneip Building 700 Governors Drive Pierre, SD 57501-2291 RE: TN 19-0011 Dear Mr. Snyder: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has completed its review of South Dakota’s State Plan Amendment (SPA) Transmittal #19-0011, submitted on December 20, 2019. This SPA clarifies that substance use disorder (SUD) early intervention services provided by a SUD agency are covered and SUD treatment services may be provided in an institution for mental disease (IMD) in accordance with Section 5052 of Public Law 115-271. CMS approved SPA #19-0011 on March 17, 2021, with an effective date of November 1, 2019, as requested by the state. Enclosed is a copy of the CMS-179 summary form, as well as the approved pages for incorporation into the South Dakota State Plan. During the course of review of the SPA, CMS also reviewed “collateral contacts” that are included under the rehabilitative services benefit. These items are described on the same pages of the amended changes. Based on our same page review, CMS has determined that more information about collateral contacts is needed in order to ensure compliance with Medicaid statute and regulations as outlined in a companion letter issued with this approval. If you have any questions regarding this amendment, please contact Mandy Strom at mandy.strom@cms.hhs.gov or (303)844-7068. Sincerely, Ruth A.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 601 E. 12th St., Room 355 Kansas City, Missouri 64106 Medicaid and CHIP Operations Group March 18, 2021 William Snyder, Medicaid Director Department of Social Services Richard F. Kneip Building 700 Governors Drive Pierre, SD 57501-2291 RE: TN 19-0011 Companion letter Dear Mr. Snyder: This letter is being sent as a companion to our approval of South Dakota state plan amendment (SPA) 19-0011. The SPA clarifies that early intervention services provided by a substance use disorder agency are covered and substance use disorder services may be provided in an institution for mental disease in accordance with Section 5052 of Public Law 115-271. Our review of SPA 19-0011 included a review of “collateral contacts” that are included under the rehabilitative services benefit. These items are described on the same pages in which the state added modifications to the SPA. Regulations at 42 CFR 430.10 require that the state plan be a comprehensive written statement describing the nature and scope of the state's Medicaid program and that it contain all information necessary for CMS to determine whether the plan can be approved to serve as the basis for Federal financial participation (FFP) in the state program. Based on our review, CMS has determined that more information about collateral contacts (Supplement to Attachment 3.1-A, Item 13d, pages 31a – 31c) is needed in order to ensure that the state is in compliance with Medicaid statute and regulations. To that end, CMS welcomes the opportunity to work with you and your staff to discuss options for resolving the concerns outlined below: Collateral Contacts The SPA describes “collateral contacts” as a component service of “outpatient treatment services” and “intensive outpatient treatment services” for Substance Use Disorder Agency Services. However, collateral contacts are not considered Medicaid coverable services pursuant to section 1905(a) of the Social Security Act because they are not “care and services” furnished to Medicaid eligible individuals. The “collateral” can participate in a service but only if the service is Medicaid coverable as medical assistance and the service is for the direct benefit of the beneficiary. For example, the activity of gathering information from a collateral is not covered medical assistance. However, development of a treatment plan for the beneficiary may involve gathering information from a collateral. In this latter instance, the service is for the direct benefit of the beneficiary, even
(spa)(sd-19-0011)(approval-document)(page-4)Page 4#
though a collateral was involved. Other examples of services that include the participation of a “collateral” in a service for the benefit of the recipient are family therapy or family psycho- education. In such cases, the general expectation is that the beneficiary would be present for the service with the collateral; however, there may be some treatment sessions where the clinician’s judgment is not to include the beneficiary. While the presence of a beneficiary is an important factor for coverage, the critical issue is that the service is a coverable 1905(a) service for the direct benefit of the beneficiary and not the collateral. The SPA description of “collateral contacts” appears to set forth three purposes for these contacts – to seek information from collaterals for treatment planning; to educate or train collaterals in order that they can assist a beneficiary; and to refer collaterals to other needed services. Specifically, the SPA indicates: Collateral Contacts: Telephone or face-to-face contact with an individual other than the identified recipient to plan appropriate treatment, assist an individual so they can respond therapeutically to the recipient’s substance abuse problem, or to refer the recipient, family, or both, to other necessary community supports. The first purpose, seeking information from a collateral, could be accounted for in the rate paid for a covered Medicaid service for the beneficiary. To accomplish this, the state needs to include a service description in the state plan for a service such as “development of a treatment plan” and include in the service description language such as, “Collateral contacts are for the purpose of seeking information to assist in the development of the beneficiary’s treatment plan.” The reimbursement page in the state plan would need to account for this activity in the rate paid for the covered service. The state’s other two purposes for the collateral contacts actually propose that the collaterals receive a service or participate in a service, albeit for the direct benefit of the beneficiary. As noted above, participation by a collateral in a covered service can be accounted for in the rate paid for a covered service for the beneficiary. When a state proposes that a collateral receive a service or participate in a service, it is important that the state clarify that the service is delivered to the beneficiary and the collateral together and that the collateral’s participation in the service is for the direct benefit of the beneficiary. The SPA, as written, does not include such a clarification. Accordingly, the SPA would need to be revised to identify the covered service or services for the beneficiary in which a collateral would participate, and include an assurance that the service is for the direct benefit of the beneficiary. Again, a service description would need to be included in the SPA. The service description would also need to include language such as, “The participation of the collaterals in the service is for the purpose of treating the beneficiary’s condition and is for the direct benefit of the beneficiary.” The State has 90 days from the date of this letter, to address the issues described above. Within that period the State may submit a SPA to address the inconsistencies or submit a Corrective Action Plan describing how the State will resolve the issued identified above in a timely manner. Failure to respond will result in the initiation of a formal compliance process. During the 90 days, CMS will provide any required technical assistance.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 7500 Security Boulevard, Mail Stop S2-26-12 Baltimore, Maryland 21244-1850 May 28, 2020 Bill Snyder Medicaid Director Department of Social Services 700 Governors Drive Pierre, SD 577501 Re: South Dakota State Plan Amendment (SPA) SD-20-003 Dear Mr. Snyder: We have reviewed the proposed amendment to add section 7.4 Medicaid Disaster Relief for the COVID-19 National Emergency to your Medicaid state plan, as submitted under transmittal number (TN) SD-20-003. This amendment proposes to implement temporary policies, which are different from those policies and procedures otherwise applied under your Medicaid state plan, during the period of the Presidential and Secretarial emergency declarations related to the COVID-19 outbreak (or any renewals thereof). On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States issued a proclamation that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency by the authorities vested in him by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and consistent with section 1135 of the Social Security Act (Act). On March 13, 2020, pursuant to section 1135(b) of the Act, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services invoked his authority to waive or modify certain requirements of titles XVIII, XIX, and XXI of the Act as a result of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the extent necessary, as determined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to ensure that sufficient health care items and services are available to meet the needs of individuals enrolled in the respective programs and to ensure that health care providers that furnish such items and services in good faith, but are unable to comply with one or more of such requirements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, may be reimbursed for such items and services and exempted from sanctions for such noncompliance, absent any determination of fraud or abuse. This authority took effect as of 6PM Eastern Standard Time on March 15, 2020, with a
(spa)(sd-20-0003)(approval-document)(page-3)Page 3#
retroactive effective date of March 1, 2020. The emergency period will terminate, and this state plan provision will no longer be in effect, upon termination of the public health emergency, including any extensions. Pursuant to section 1135(b)(5) of the Act, for the period of the public health emergency, CMS is modifying the requirement at 42 C.F.R. 430.20 that the state submit SPAs related to the COVID- 19 public health emergency by the final day of the quarter, to obtain a SPA effective date during the quarter, enabling SPAs submitted after the last day of the quarter to have an effective date in a previous quarter, but no earlier than the effective date of the public health emergency.
The State of South Dakota also requested a waiver of public notice requirements applicable to the SPA submission process. Pursuant to section 1135(b)(1)(C) of the Act, CMS is waiving public notice requirements applicable to the SPA submission process. Public notice for SPAs is required under 42 C.F.R. §447.205 for changes in statewide methods and standards for setting Medicaid payment rates, 42 C.F.R. §447.57 for changes to premiums and cost sharing, and 42 C.F.R. §440.386 for changes to Alternative Benefit Plans (ABPs). Pursuant to section 1135(b)(1)(C) of the Act, CMS is approving the state’s request to waive these notice requirements otherwise applicable to SPA submissions.
The State of South Dakota also requested a waiver to modify the tribal consultation timeline applicable to this SPA submission process. Pursuant to section 1135(b)(5) of the Act, CMS is also allowing states to modify the timeframes associated with tribal consultation required under section 1902(a)(73) of the Act, including shortening the number of days before submission or conducting consultation after submission of the SPA.
These waivers or modifications of the requirements related to SPA submission timelines, public notice, and tribal consultation apply only with respect to SPAs that meet the following criteria: (1) the SPA provides or increases beneficiary access to items and services related to COVID-19 (such as by waiving or eliminating cost sharing, increasing payment rates or amending ABPs to add services or providers); (2) the SPA does not restrict or limit payment or services or otherwise burden beneficiaries and providers; and (3) the SPA is temporary, with a specified sunset date that is not later than the last day of the declared COVID-19 public health emergency (or any extension thereof). We nonetheless encourage states to make all relevant information about the SPA available to the public so they are aware of the changes.
We conducted our review of your submittal according to the statutory requirements at section 1902(a) of the Act and implementing regulations. This letter is to inform you that South Dakota’s Medicaid SPA Transmittal Number SD-20-003 is approved effective March 1, 2020. Enclosed is a copy of the CMS-179 summary form and the approved state plan pages.

INPATIENT HOSPITAL PAYMENT METHODOLOGY Attachment 4.19-A Page 1 GENERAL The South Dakota Medicaid program has reimbursed hospitals for inpatient services under a prospective Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) methodology, with a few exceptions, since January 1, 1985. The State uses the federal definitions of DRGs, classifications, weights, geometric mean lengths of stay, and outlier cutoffs. The DRG Grouper is updated annually effective January 1 each year each year. The agency provides a link to Medicare’s DRGs on its website at http://dss.sd.gov/sdmedx/includes/providers/feeschedules/dss/index.aspx. The agency calculates Medicaid-specific weight and geometric mean length of stay factors annually using the latest three years of non-outlier claim data, this three-year claims database updated annually to establish new weight and geometric length of stay factors with each new grouper. The agency developed hospital-specific costs per Medicaid discharge amounts for all instate hospitals using Medicare cost reports and non-outlier claims data for the hospitals’ fiscal years ending after June 30, 1996 and before July 1, 1997. The agency applied an inflation factor, specific to each hospital’s fiscal year end, to the cost per discharge amounts of all hospitals with more than thirty (30) Medicaid discharges during the base year to establish target amounts for the most recently completed federal fiscal year. There is a cap on the hospitals’ target amounts, under which no hospital is allowed a target amount that exceeds 110% of the statewide weighted average of all target amounts. South Dakota Medicaid reimburses out-of-state hospitals on the same basis as the Medicaid agencies in the states where the hospitals are located. If the hospital's home state refuses to provide the amount they would pay for a given claim, the payment will be at 44.15% of billed charges. Payment is for individual discharge or transfer claims only. Out of state specialty hospitals are reimbursed at 44.15% of billed charges unless otherwise approved by the state. There is no annual cost settlement with out-of-state hospitals or instate DRG hospitals unless an amount is due the South Dakota Medicaid program. For claims with dates of service beginning July 1, 2020, the reimbursement for instate DRG hospitals and all out-of-state hospitals not paid the above-stated percentage of charges is increased by 2.0 percent over what the calculated amounts were for State fiscal year 2019 after any cost sharing amount due from the patient and any third party liability amounts have been deducted, and after computation of any cost outlier payment. The agency will increase reimbursements to South Dakota hospitals classified as Medicare Critical Access or Medicaid Access Critical by 2.0 percent for claims with dates of service on and after July 1, 2020. SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION Each year the agency calculates a hospital’s target amounts for non-outlier claims by dividing the hospital's average cost per discharge for non-outlier claims by the hospital's case mix index. To ensure budget neutrality, the agency adjusts annually a hospital’s target amount for any change in that hospital’s case mix index resulting from the establishment of new program specific weight factors. For each hospital, the case mix index is the calculated result of accumulating the weight factors for all claims submitted during the base period and dividing by the number of claims.

Attachment 4.19-A Page 5 5. Rehabilitation Units (only upon request and justification); 6. Children’s Care Hospitals; 7. Indian Health Service Hospitals; 8. Hospitals with less than 30 Medicaid discharges during the hospital’s fiscal year ending after June 30, 1993, and before July 1, 1994; and 9. Specialized Surgical Hospitals. Payment for rehabilitation hospitals and units, perinatal units, and children’s care hospitals will continue on the Medicare retrospective cost base system with the following exceptions: 1. Costs associated with certified registered nurse anesthetist services that relate to exempt hospitals and units will be included as allowable costs. 2. Malpractice insurance premiums attributable to exempt units or hospitals will be allowed using 7.5% of the risk portion of the premium multiplied by the ratio of inpatient charges to total Medicaid inpatient charges for these hospitals or units. The agency provides a link to Medicare’s DRGs on its website at http://dss.sd.gov/sdmedx/includes/providers/feeschedules/dss/index.aspx Payment for psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric units, rehabilitation hospitals, rehabilitation units, perinatal units, and children’s care hospitals is on a per diem basis based on the facility’s reported, allowable costs, as established by the State. This per diem amount is updated annually as directed by the Legislature based on review of economic indices and input from interested parties not to exceed the rate as established by the medical care component of the Consumer Price Index of the most recent calendar year. The per diem for state operated psychiatric hospitals is updated annually based on facility’s reported allowable costs, as established by the state. Specialized surgical hospitals payments for payable procedures will be based upon group assignments. Payment rates are effective April 1, 2019 and will be listed on the agency’s website http://dss.sd.gov/sdmedx/includes/providers/feeschedules/dss/index.aspx. Payable procedures include, but are not limited to: nursing, technician, and related services; patient’s use of facilities; drugs, biologicals, surgical dressings, supplies, splints, casts, and appliances and equipment directly related to the surgical procedures; diagnostic or therapeutic services or items directly related to the surgical procedures; administrative and recordkeeping services; housekeeping items and supplies; and materials for anesthesia. Items not reimbursable include those payable under other provisions of State Plan, such as physician services, laboratory services, X-ray and diagnostic procedures, prosthetic devices, ambulance services, orthotic devices, and durable medical equipment for use in the patient’s home, except for those payable as directly related to the surgical procedures. Payments to Indian Health Service inpatient hospitals will be per diem and based upon the approved rates published each year in the Federal Register by the Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, under the authority of sections 321(a) and 322(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 248 and 249(b)), Public Law 83-568 (42 U.S.C. 2001(a)), and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). Instate hospitals with less than 30 discharges during the hospital’s fiscal year ending after June 30, 1993, and before July 1, 1994, are paid 95% of billed charges. For claims with dates of service on and after July 1, 2020, the amount of reimbursement for psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, perinatal units, psychiatric units, rehabilitation units, children’s care hospitals, and specialized surgical hospitals will be increased 2.0% over the April 1, 2019 calculations after any cost sharing amounts due from the patient, any third-party liability amounts have been deducted and other computation of any cost outlier payment. EXCEPTION TO PAYMENT METHODOLOGIES FOR ACCESS-CRITICAL AND AT-RISK HOSPITALS South Dakota Medicaid will reimburse hospitals classified as Medicare Critical Access or Medicaid Access Critical at the greater of actual allowable cost or the payment received under the provisions contained in this Attachment.

Group 2, psychiatric hospitals operated by the State of South Dakota; and Group 3, other hospitals (any hospital not in Group 1 or 2). Payments to Group 1 hospitals qualifying under the Medicaid inpatient utilization method are based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the Medicaid inpatient utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 1 hospitals qualifying under the low-income utilization method are based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the low-income utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 1 hospitals will be made according to the payment schedule on the Department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2020. The amount of payment for each hospital is calculated as follows: The Department determines the number of facilities qualifying at greater than the mean, greater than 1 standard deviation above the mean, greater than 2 standard deviations above the mean, and greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean. The total amount of funding budgeted for disproportionate share payments is then allocated starting with those facilities qualifying at greater than the mean. Facilities qualifying at greater than 1 standard deviation, greater than 2 standard deviations, and greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean are paid double, triple, and quadruple, respectively, the amount for facilities qualifying at greater than the mean. The payment amounts are adjusted until all the budgeted funds are spent. The proposed disproportionate share payment for each facility is then compared to the payment limit that has been established for each facility. If the payment limit is less than the proposed disproportionate share payment, then the payment limit amount will be the disproportionate share payment for that particular facility. The sum of the payments made to the facilities where the payment limit was met is then subtracted from the total amount budgeted. The remaining budgeted funds are then allocated equally among the facilities where the payment limits have not been met. The subsequent allocation again is determined to ensure that facilities qualifying at greater than 1 standard deviation, greater than 2 standard deviations, and greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean are paid double, triple, and quadruple, respectively, the amount for facilities qualifying at greater than the mean. Payments to Group 2 hospitals qualifying under the Medicaid inpatient utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the Medicaid inpatient utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 2 hospitals qualifying under the low-income utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the low-income utilization mean for all participating hospitals. 11/23/20

Payments to Group 2 hospitals will be made according to the payment schedule on the Department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2020. Payments to Group 3 hospitals qualifying under the Medicaid inpatient utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the Medicaid inpatient utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 3 hospitals qualifying under the low-income utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the low-income utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 3 hospitals will be made according to the payment schedule on the Department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2020. If necessary, payments to qualified hospitals will be adjusted for the projected impact of the hospital’s specific disproportionate share hospital payment limit as required by OBRA ’93. The agency will make disproportionate share hospital program payments to qualifying hospitals one time during the last quarter of the State fiscal year. If the total of disproportionate share payments to all qualified hospitals for a year is going to exceed the State disproportionate share hospital payment limit, as established under 1923(f) of the Act, the following process will be used to prevent overspending the limit: First, the amount of over- expenditure will be determined; Then the over-expenditure amount will be deducted from the total payments to Group 2 hospitals; and Payments to individual Group 2 hospitals will be reduced based on their percentage of Group 2 total payments. 11/23/20

Attachment 4.19-A Page 10a TN# 20-07 Supersedes TN# 18-05 Approval Date ______ Effective Date 07/01/20 HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION The Department of Social Services supports the direct graduate medical education (GME) of health professionals through the use of Medicaid funds. All in-state, private hospitals which are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) are eligible for health profession education payments. Those hospitals are identified through the use of their most recently-filed Medicare 2552-10, cost reports. Specifically, worksheet E-4 (Line 1.00) is utilized to identify the number of weighted full-time equivalents for primary care physicians at participating facilities. The agency calculates the Medicaid hospital patient days using the Division of Medical Services (DMS) Cost Settlement Details report of adjudicated claims for the same period as the Medicare 2552 cost report. Hospitals seeking GME payments must submit an application for the previous state fiscal year’s costs to DMS prior to the end of the current state fiscal year. The agency will make payments for costs incurred in the previous state fiscal year, as defined below, annually prior to the end of the current state fiscal year. Payments will be made through the state’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) payment system. Payments will be made directly to the qualifying hospitals through a supplemental payment mechanism. The payment will appear on the facility’s remittance advice. Each hospital will also receive written notification at the time of payment of the payment amount from DMS. GME payments made in error will be recovered via a supplemental recovery mechanism and will appear on the facility’s remittance advice. The agency will notify the facility in writing explaining the error prior to the recovery. The Federal share of payments made in excess will be returned to CMS in accordance with 42 CFR Part 433, Subpart F. A hospital that applied for GME funding in the previous 24 months must provide written notice to DMS no less than 30 days prior to the effective date it intends to terminate operation of a GME program. A hospital must provide written notice to DMS by January 1 if it will not be applying for GME funding for the previous state fiscal year’s costs. The agency will determine the annual lump sum, onetime payment pool. The annual payment will be made during the last quarter of the state fiscal year. The pool will be distributed based upon the allocation percentage of each hospital. The hospital allocation percentage will be developed using prior year total Medicaid inpatient days and weighted intern and resident (I & R) full time equivalency (FTE). The state uses the prior year’s cost report data as a proxy for the current year. For example, the state fiscal year 2008 calculation of allocations from the payment pool was the following: (a) Weighted I & R FTEs (b) Medicaid Hospital Patient Days (c) (a*b) Weighted FTE Days (d) Hospital Allocation Percentage Payment Pool Total Hospital A 17 11,450 194,650 35.34% $1,052,009 Hospital B 22 10,692 232,230 42.16% $1,255,116 Hospital C 23 5,342 123,988 22.51% $670,107 Totals 62 27,484 550,868 100.00% $2,977,233 Total state funds available for payment through the pool are listed on the department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2020. The FMAP at the time the annual payment is made will be applied to the state portion of the payment. 11/23/20

The Center for Family Medicine must be accredited by the ACGME to be eligible for health profession education payments. The state will make equal interim payments to providers on a quarterly basis. Costs must be submitted on a quarterly basis to validate costs for the previous quarter using the state developed South Dakota Rural Residency Program Cost Report and Rural Residency Cost Report Guidelines. The payment will be made to the Center for Family Medicine through the MMIS system. Payments will be made directly to the provider through a supplemental payment mechanism and will appear on their remittance advice. The Center for Family Medicine will receive written notification at the time of payment of the payment amount from DMS. GME payments made in error that cannot be adequately addressed through adjustment of future quarterly payments will be recovered via a supplemental recovery mechanism and will appear on the provider’s remittance advice. The agency will notify the provider in writing explaining the error prior to the recovery. The Federal share of payments made in excess will be returned to CMS in accordance with 42 CFR Part 433, Subpart F. The Center for Family Medicine must provide written notice to DMS no less than 30 days prior to the effective date it intends to terminate operation of its GME program or written notice to DMS no less than 30 days prior to the effective date it will no longer be applying for GME funding. The agency will determine the annual rural residency program payment pool for the upcoming state fiscal year prior to the start of the fiscal year on July 1. The total state funds available for payment through the rural residency program pool are listed on the department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2020.

Page 1a ATTACHMENT 4.19-B PAYMENTS FOR MEDICAL AND REMEDIAL CARE AND SERVICES South Dakota Medicaid will make payments to medical providers who sign agreements with the State under which the provider agrees: (a) to accept as payment in full the amounts paid in accordance with the payment structures of the State; (b) to keep such records as are necessary to fully disclose the extent of the services provided to individuals receiving assistance under the State Plan; and (c) to furnish the State Agency with such information, regarding any payments claimed by such person or institution for services provided under the State Plan, as the agency may request from time to time. The following describes policy and methods the agency uses to establish payment rates for each type of care and service, other than inpatient hospital or nursing home services, included in the State Plan. In no instance will the amount of payment under the provisions of this attachment exceed the payment made by the general public for identical services. 1. Inpatient Hospital Services (See Attachment 4.19-A) 2a. Outpatient Hospital Services Effective August 2, 2016, Medicare Prospective Payment System hospitals will be paid using the Medicaid Agency’s Outpatient Prospective Payments System (OPPS). Under OPPS, services are reimbursed using Ambulatory Payment Classifications. Effective August 2, 2016, the Department will establish a conversion factor and discount factor specific to each hospital. The hospital specific conversion factor and discount factors are published on the State agency’s website at http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/dss/. Effective July 1, 2020, Medicare Prospective Payment System hospitals paid using the Medicaid Agency’s OPPS will be increased by 2.0 percent. South Dakota Medicaid will pay remaining participating outpatient hospitals with more than 30 Medicaid inpatient discharges during the hospital’s fiscal year ending after June 30, 1993 and before July 1, 1994 on the basis of Medicare principles of reasonable reimbursement with the following exceptions: 1.

TN No. 21-0002 Supersedes TN No. 19-0008 Approval Date ________ Effective Date 06/01/21 Page 36b STATE PLAN UNDER TITLE XIX OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM State/Territory: SOUTH DAKOTA SECTION 4. GENERAL PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION Citation 4.5b Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor Program Section 1902(a)(42)(b)(i) of the Social Security Act The State has established a program under which it will contract with one or more recovery audit contractors (RACs) for the purpose of identifying underpayments and overpayments of Medicaid claims under the State plan and under any waiver of the State plan. X The State is seeking an extension to the exception to establishing such program for the following reasons: (1) The State maintains a low rate of errors in Medicaid payments, as evidenced by the most recent PERM review; and (2) The State’s estimate of the potential amount of payment errors to be recovered is low based in part on relatively low Medicaid enrollment and associated expenditures such that there would not be enough revenue generated to fund an adequate enough contingency fee to attract sufficient bidding attention from vendors; and (3) In fiscal year 2020 the State had total Medicaid and CHIP expenditures of $992.65 million. For this period the State had an average monthly enrollment of 115,731 eligible recipients and a total of 141,620 eligible recipients during the fiscal year. Of these individuals 113,291 were enrolled in the Primary Care Case Management or the Health Home program. The State Medicaid agency has contracts of the type(s) listed in Section 1902(a)(42)(B)(ii)(I) of the Act. All contracts meet the requirements of the statute. RACs are consistent with the statute.

RE: TN 22-0014 Companion letter
Dear Ms. Aker:
This letter is being sent as a companion to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) approval of South Dakota’s State Plan Amendment (SPA) #22-0014, which proposes to update how the state determines premium assistance to be cost effective. During the course of our review of SPA #22-0014, we identified a cost sharing policy and procedure that is not consistent with federal requirements. This letter serves to memorialize the agreement that the state will implement a cost- sharing tracking system for all beneficiaries who are subject to cost-sharing under the state plan.
Sections 1906 and 1906A of the Social Security Act permit states to elect to provide a premium assistance program to beneficiaries otherwise eligible for Medicaid who have access to cost-effective private insurance. Under a premium assistance program, states must provide a cost sharing wrap, and ensure premium assistance beneficiaries receive the same cost sharing protections as other Medicaid beneficiaries. Sections 1916A(a)(2)(B), (b)(1)(B)(ii) and (b)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act), implemented at 42 CFR §447.56(f), set an aggregate cap on the total premiums and cost sharing charged to a given Medicaid beneficiary (or, in the case of a family with multiple beneficiaries, all beneficiaries in the household) to five percent of the beneficiary’s family income. This five percent aggregate cap may be applied, at state option, on either a monthly or quarterly basis (“aggregate cap period”).
As discussed during a phone call on March 2, 2023 with South Dakota agency staff, the state has not yet implemented a system to track beneficiaries’ premiums and cost sharing payments prior to beneficiaries reaching their household aggregate cap. South Dakota informed CMS that it was aware of this issue and that it intends to comply with federal policy concerning cost sharing and premium tracking through an eligibility system upgrade which will enable the state to automate the tracking of beneficiary’s incurred premium and cost sharing towards their family aggregate.
South Dakota has confirmed that this upgrade is scheduled to be implemented by March 1, 2024. Until the automated tracking system is implemented, South Dakota will ensure that premium assistance beneficiaries can report to the state agency when they have incurred cost sharing on eligible medical expenses in excess of five percent of the beneficiary’s family income as approved under the state plan. Tracking cost sharing and premiums is not integral to the purpose of SPA #22-0014. In accordance with SMD #10-020, CMS explained to the state the option it has to resolve this issue separately from the approval of the SPA.

State/Territory: South Dakota ATTACHMENT 4.22-C Page 1 State Methodology of Determining Cost-Effectiveness of Individual and Group Health Plans Enrollment in the Premium Assistance Program is voluntary. Premium assistance enrollees are able to see providers enrolled in Medicaid and/or the private insurance for any Medicaid eligible services. For Medicaid eligible recipients, enrollment in the Premium Assistance Program does not change the recipient's eligibility for benefits through the state plan or cost sharing obligations under the state plan. The Medicaid agency pays all premiums, deductibles, coinsurance and other cost sharing obligations for items and services covered under the State plan, subject to any nominal Medicaid copayment, for premium assistance beneficiaries. Individuals enrolled in the Premium Assistance Program are afforded the same recipient protections provided to all other Medicaid enrollees. Any cost-sharing imposed in excess of the 5 percent cap is adjusted through claims reprocessing by the Medicaid agency. I. South Dakota Medicaid determines the cost-effectiveness for payment of qualifying group or individual market health insurance premiums using the following methodology: 1. Any Medicaid-eligible recipient who has an existing, ongoing, and medically- confirmed medical condition determined by the South Dakota Medicaid to be considered a cost- effective condition is deemed to meet the cost-effective criteria. Examples of medical conditions considered cost-effective include cancer, neonatal intensive care, transplants, motor vehicle accidents, head trauma, and heart conditions. 2. When the criteria of 1. is not met, cost-effectiveness will be calculated as follows: a.Determine: i. The annual anticipated cost for Medicaid services generally covered by the private health insurance based on the recipient's claim history and other relevant information. ii. Total the results of each of the following calculations: a. The group or individual market health insurance premium less the employer contribution. b. A predetermined annual administration cost per participant. c. The expected cost to South Dakota Medicaid for any deductibles, coinsurance and/or copayments. b.Subtract the result of ii. from the result of i. c. If the result is a cost savings greater than or equal to $1,000, the policy is considered cost-effective. d. If the result is less than $1,000 in cost savings, the policy is not considered cost-effective. 3. When the criteria of 1. and 2. are not met, specific information relating to the individual circumstances of the Medicaid-eligible recipient may be provided. On a case-by-case basis and at the sole discretion of South Dakota Medicaid, a determination of cost- effectiveness can be made if sufficient evidence is provided to demonstrate savings to South Dakota Medicaid. II. Redetermination Review 1. South Dakota Medicaid will complete a redetermination review at least yearly for all Premium Assistance Program enrollees. The yearly review shall consist of: TN No. 22-0014 Supersedes TN No. NEW a. Verifying South Dakota Medicaid eligibility; and Approval Date 4/25/2023 Effective Date 10/1/22

ATTACHMENT 4.22-C Page 2 b. Completing a cost-effective analysis using the cost-effectiveness methodology 2. South Dakota may re-determine eligibility at any point if: a. The monthly premium of the group or individual market health insurance increases; b. There is a change in eligibility category or status for South Dakota Medicaid; c. The services offered by the group or individual market health insurance decrease; d. There is a change in the deductible, co-insurance or any other cost-sharing provisions of the group or individual market health policy; or e. There is reason to believe a change has occurred which may affect eligibility for the Premium Assistance Program. 3. Failure to submit required documents for redetermination or failure to meet the cost effectiveness criteria may result in disenrollment from the Premium Assistance Program. Ill. Coverage of Non-South Dakota Medicaid Family Members 1. The Premium Assistance Program will pay the premiums for additional family members who are not South Dakota Medicaid eligible, if the individual's premium amount cannot be separated from the family premium amount. In this circumstance, the entire amount of the family's premium will be used to calculate cost effectiveness. 2. South Dakota will not pay a deductible, copayment, or coinsurance obligation on behalf of non-Premium Assistance Program individuals covered under a family's insurance. IV. Purchasing or paying for health insurance coverage is deemed not cost effective when: 1. A recipient is also enrolled in Medicare; 2. A recipient is enrolled in a limited benefits Medicaid program; 3. Payment of health insurance premiums have been fully reimbursed or offset by a third party, including, but not limited to: a. An employer. b. An individual court-ordered to provide medical support. 4. The group or individual market health insurance only provides catastrophic, limited benefit, limited duration, or indemnity coverage. V. Premium Assistance Payments 1. Payments may be made directly to the insurer, employer, or the recipient. 2. The initial insurance premium payment will be made immediately upon program approval and on the first business day of each qualifying month thereafter.

State Plan Under Title XIX of the Social Security Act State:
METHODOLOGY FOR IDENTIFICATION OF APPLICABLE FMAP RATES The State will determine the appropriate FMAP rate for expenditures for individuals enrolled in the adult group described in 42 CFR 435.119 and receiving benefits in accordance with 42 CFR Part 440 Subpart C. The adult group FMAP methodology consists of two parts: an individual-based determination related to enrolled individuals, and as applicable, appropriate population-based adjustments. Part 1 – Adult Group Individual Income-Based Determinations For individuals eligible in the adult group, the state will make an individual income-based determination for purposes of the adult group FMAP methodology by comparing individual income to the relevant converted income eligibility standards in effect on December 1, 2009, and included in the MAGI Conversion Plan (Part 2) approved by CMS on . In general, and subject to any adjustments described in this SPA, under the adult group FMAP methodology, the expenditures of individuals with incomes below the relevant converted income standards for the applicable subgroup are considered as those for which the newly eligible FMAP is not available. The relevant MAGI-converted standards for each population group in the new adult group are described in Table 1.

Application for Presumptive Eligibility Name Date Created SD PE App 11-01-2023 11/17/2023 9:11 AM EST 5. Describe the presumptive eligibility screening process: The Hospital Presumptive Eligibility Program allows qualified hospitals to screen individuals for temporary medical assistance coverage while their full Medicaid application is processed. Hospitals must submit an application to become a qualified hospital. Qualified hospitals are required to verify if an applicant is currently enrolled in Medicaid before providing services to the applicant. Applicants enrolled in Medicaid should not complete an application or have a presumptive eligibility screening. Babies born to mothers enrolled in Medicaid are eligible for the Automatic Newborn Medicaid program and do not require a presumptive eligibility determination. Individuals may have one (1) presumptive eligibility period every two (2) calendar years or for pregnant women, once per pregnancy. If an applicant has a presumptive eligibility period within the previous two (2) calendar years, the applicant should be informed on how to complete a full Medicaid application. Qualified hospitals will use the Hospital Presumptive Eligibility Application for individuals eligible for screening. Qualified hospitals must gather enough information to complete the Presumptive Eligibility Worksheet in Appendix 1 of the Presumptive Eligibility Training Guide. Either the Notice of Eligibility from Appendix 3 or the Notice of Denial from Appendix 4 must be sent to the applicant based on whether they meet all of the general eligibility criteria, including the income criteria for a coverage group in Appendix 2. Qualified hospitals must notify the Division of Economic Assistance of presumptive eligibility determination approvals by submitting the following items no later than two (2) working days following the determination: 1) Presumptive Eligibility Medicaid Application; 2) Presumptive Eligibility Worksheet; and 3) Notice to Applicant. Applicants denied coverage through the presumptive eligibility process have the option to have their application sent to the Department of Social Services for a Medicaid determination. This application, along with the notice to the applicant, must be forwarded to the Department of Social Services, Division of Economic Assistance within two (2) working days. The eligibility period for individuals found eligible through the presumptive eligibility process ends on either the date the eligibility determination is made by the Department of Social Services, if a complete application is filed by the last day of the month following the month in which the presumptive eligibility determine was made, or the last day of the month following the month in which the presumptive eligibility determination was made. F. Presumptive Eligibility Determination The presumptive eligibility determination is based on the following factors: 1. The individual’s categorical or non-financial eligibility for the group for which the individual’s presumptive eligibility is being determined (e.g., based on age, pregnancy status, status as a parent/caretaker relative, disability, or other requirements specified in the Medicaid state plan or a Medicaid 1115 demonstration for that group) 2. Household income must not exceed the applicable income standard for the group for which the individual's presumptive eligibility is being determined, if an income standard is applicable for this group. 1. The state uses a standardized screening process for determining presumptive eligibility. 2. The state uses the single streamlined paper and/or online application form for Medicaid and Presumptive Eligibility, approved by CMS. A copy of the single streamlined paper and/or online application with questions necessary for a PE determination highlighted or denoted is included. a. Paper - A copy of the application form is included. b. Online - A copy of the application form is included. 3. The state uses a separate paper application form for presumptive eligibility, approved by CMS. A copy of the application form is included. 4. The state uses an online portal or electronic screening tool for presumptive eligibility approved by CMS. Screenshots of the tool included. a. A reasonable estimate of MAGI-based income is used to determine household income. b. Gross income is used to determine household size. c. Other income methodology 3. State residency 4.

This amendment eliminates cost sharing for medical services. We conducted our review of your submittal according to statutory requirements in Title XIX of the Social Security Act and the implementing regulations 42 CFR 447.50 through 447.57 (excluding 447.55). This letter is to inform you that South Dakota Medicaid SPA 24-0012-A was approved on October 17, 2024, with an effective date of July 1, 2024. With the approval and implementation of SPA 24-0012-A, the issue raised in companion letter to SPA 22-0014 dated April 25, 2023, is resolved. A system to track cost sharing payments prior to reaching the household aggregate cap is no longer necessary with the elimination of cost sharing for medical assistance. If you have any questions, please contact Tyler Deines at 202-571-8533 or via email at tyler.deines@cms.hhs.gov. Sincerely, James G.

Attachment 4.19-A Page 1 INPATIENT HOSPITAL PAYMENT METHODOLOGY GENERAL The South Dakota Medicaid program has reimbursed hospitals for inpatient services under a prospective Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) methodology, with a few exceptions, since January 1, 1985. The State uses the federal definitions of DRGs, classifications, weights, geometric mean lengths of stay, and outlier cutoffs. The DRG Grouper is updated annually effective January 1 each year each year. The agency provides a link to Medicare’s DRGs on its website at http://dss.sd.gov/sdmedx/includes/providers/feeschedules/dss/index.aspx. The agency calculates Medicaid-specific weight and geometric mean length of stay factors annually using the latest three years of non-outlier claim data, this three-year claims database updated annually to establish new weight and geometric length of stay factors with each new grouper. The agency developed hospital-specific costs per Medicaid discharge amounts for all instate hospitals using Medicare cost reports and non-outlier claims data for the hospitals’ fiscal years ending after June 30, 1996 and before July 1, 1997. The agency applied an inflation factor, specific to each hospital’s fiscal year end, to the cost per discharge amounts of all hospitals with more than thirty (30) Medicaid discharges during the base year to establish target amounts for the most recently completed federal fiscal year. There is a cap on the hospitals’ target amounts, under which no hospital is allowed a target amount that exceeds 110% of the statewide weighted average of all target amounts. South Dakota Medicaid reimburses out-of-state hospitals at 44.15% of the provider’s usual and customary charges unless otherwise approved by the State. The State may reimburse out-of- state hospitals on the same basis as the Medicaid agency where the hospital is located if the hospital’s home state Medicaid agency agrees to calculate the claim payment. Payment is for individual discharge or transfer claims only. Out of state specialty hospitals are reimbursed at 44.15% of billed charges unless otherwise approved by the state. There is no annual cost settlement with out-of-state hospitals or instate DRG hospitals unless an amount is due the South Dakota Medicaid program. For claims with dates of service beginning July 1, 2024, instate DRG hospitals’ target and capital/ education amounts are increased by 4.0 percent. OPPS hospitals that did not receive an inflationary increase to their OPPS conversion factor are receiving DRG target and capital/education increase of 4.0 percent plus an additional hospital specific DRG target and capital/education increase. The hospital specific DRG rate increase was calculated to provide the hospital the equivalent of the additional annual reimbursement amount the hospital would have received if their OPPS conversion factor was increased by 4.0 percent. SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION Each year the agency calculates a hospital’s target amounts for non-outlier claims by dividing the hospital's average cost per discharge for non-outlier claims by the hospital's case mix index. To ensure budget neutrality, the agency adjusts annually a hospital’s target amount for any change in that hospital’s case mix index resulting from the establishment of new program specific weight factors. For each hospital, the case mix index is the calculated result of accumulating the weight factors for all claims submitted during the base period and dividing by the number of claims.

Attachment 4.19-A Page 3 SERVICES COVERED BY DIAGNOSTIC RELATED GROUP PAYMENTS The State agency has adopted Medicare's definition of inpatient hospital services covered by DRG payment. Providers must submit claims for reimbursement for physician services on a separate CMS 1500 form. OUTLIER PAYMENTS The State agency will calculate additional payments to hospitals for discharges which meet the criteria of an "outlier," a case with extremely high charges which exceed cost outlier thresholds set by the agency. To qualify for a cost outlier payment, 70% of the claim's total billed charges must exceed the larger of the cost outlier amount published on the agency's website at http://dss.sd.gov/sdmedx/includes/providers/feeschedules/dss/index.aspx or 1.5 times the DRG payment for the claim. The additional payment allowed for a cost outlier will be 90% of the difference between 70% of billed charges and the larger of the published outlier amount or 1.5 times the DRG payment. The total payment allowed for an outlier claim will be the DRG payment plus the outlier payment plus the daily capital/education amount for each day of the hospital stay. SURGICALLY-IMPLANTED DEVICES AND APPLIANCES The Medicaid program will reimburse claims submitted for inpatient hospital services by in- state acute care hospitals that had more than 30 Medicaid discharges during the hospitals' fiscal year ending after June 30, 1996, and before July 1, 1997, that are considered to be cost outlier claims as defined by ARSD 67:16:03:01 (3) and contain revenue codes 275 or 278 according to the following guidelines: 1. The State agency will limit reimbursements for aggregate charges in excess of $50,000 associated with revenue codes 275 or 278 to the providers' actual costs plus 10%; and 2. The agency will remove the aggregate charges for revenue codes 275 or 278 in excess of $50,000 from the calculation of the claim and charges associated with the remainder of the claim will be reimbursed according to ARSD 67: 16:03:06. For use by the agency in the reimbursement calculations, the provider must submit to the agency as documentation copies of the suppliers' invoices for items associated with revenue codes 275 and 278.

Hospitals with less than 30 Medicaid discharges during the hospital’s fiscal year ending after June 30, 1993, and before July 1, 1994; 9. Specialized Surgical Hospitals; 10. Long-Term Acute Care Hospital. Payment for rehabilitation hospitals and units, perinatal units, and children’s care hospitals will continue on the Medicare retrospective cost base system with the following exceptions: 1. Costs associated with certified registered nurse anesthetist services that relate to exempt hospitals and units will be included as allowable costs. 2. Malpractice insurance premiums attributable to exempt units or hospitals will be allowed using 7.5% of the risk portion of the premium multiplied by the ratio of inpatient charges to total Medicaid inpatient charges for these hospitals or units. The agency provides a link to Medicare’s DRGs on its website at http://dss.sd.gov/sdmedx/includes/providers/feeschedules/dss/index.aspx Payment for psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric units, rehabilitation hospitals, rehabilitation units, perinatal units, long-term acute care hospitals and children’s care hospitals is on a per diem basis based on the facility’s reported, allowable costs, as established by the State. This per diem amount is updated annually as directed by the Legislature based on review of economic indices and input from interested parties not to exceed the rate as established by the medical care component of the Consumer Price Index of the most recent calendar year. The per diem for state operated psychiatric hospitals is updated annually based on facility’s reported allowable costs, as established by the state. Specialized surgical hospitals payments for payable procedures will be 66 percent of usual and customary charges for ancillary services and 60 percent of usual and customary charges for room and board. Payable procedures include, but are not limited to: nursing, technician, and related services; patient’s use of facilities; drugs, biologicals, surgical dressings, supplies, splints, casts, and appliances and equipment directly related to the surgical procedures; diagnostic or therapeutic services or items directly related to the surgical procedures; administrative and recordkeeping services; housekeeping items and supplies; and materials for anesthesia. Items not reimbursable include those payable under other provisions of State Plan, such as physician services, laboratory services, X-ray and diagnostic procedures, prosthetic devices, ambulance services, orthotic devices, and durable medical equipment for use in the patient’s home, except for those payable as directly related to the surgical procedures. Payments to Indian Health Service inpatient hospitals will be per diem and based upon the approved rates published each year in the Federal Register by the Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, under the authority of sections 321(a) and 322(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 248 and 249(b)), Public Law 83-568 (42 U.S.C. 2001(a)), and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). Instate hospitals with less than 30 discharges during the hospital’s fiscal year ending after June 30, 1993, and before July 1, 1994, are paid 95% of billed charges. For claims with dates of service on and after July 1, 2024, the amount of reimbursement for psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, perinatal units, psychiatric units, rehabilitation units, children’s care hospitals, and long- term acute care hospitals will be increased 4.0% over the July 1, 2023 calculations after any third-party liability amounts have been deducted and other computation of any cost outlier payment. EXCEPTION TO PAYMENT METHODOLOGIES FOR ACCESS-CRITICAL AND AT-RISK HOSPITALS South Dakota Medicaid will reimburse hospitals classified as Medicare Critical Access or Medicaid Access Critical at the greater of actual allowable cost or the payment received under the provisions contained in this Attachment.

Attachment 4.19-A Page 7 TN 24-0014 Supersedes TN 23-0016 Approval Date 10/23/24 Effective Date 07/01/24 Group 2, psychiatric hospitals operated by the State of South Dakota; and Group 3, other hospitals (any hospital not in Group 1 or 2). Payments to Group 1 hospitals qualifying under the Medicaid inpatient utilization method are based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the Medicaid inpatient utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 1 hospitals qualifying under the low-income utilization method are based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the low-income utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 1 hospitals will be made according to the payment schedule on the Department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2024. The amount of payment for each hospital is calculated as follows: The Department determines the number of facilities qualifying at greater than the mean, greater than 1 standard deviation above the mean, greater than 2 standard deviations above the mean, and greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean. The total amount of funding budgeted for disproportionate share payments is then allocated starting with those facilities qualifying at greater than the mean. Facilities qualifying at greater than 1 standard deviation, greater than 2 standard deviations, and greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean are paid double, triple, and quadruple, respectively, the amount for facilities qualifying at greater than the mean. The payment amounts are adjusted until all the budgeted funds are spent. The proposed disproportionate share payment for each facility is then compared to the payment limit that has been established for each facility. If the payment limit is less than the proposed disproportionate share payment, then the payment limit amount will be the disproportionate share payment for that particular facility. The sum of the payments made to the facilities where the payment limit was met is then subtracted from the total amount budgeted. The remaining budgeted funds are then allocated equally among the facilities where the payment limits have not been met. The subsequent allocation again is determined to ensure that facilities qualifying at greater than 1 standard deviation, greater than 2 standard deviations, and greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean are paid double, triple, and quadruple, respectively, the amount for facilities qualifying at greater than the mean. Payments to Group 2 hospitals qualifying under the Medicaid inpatient utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the Medicaid inpatient utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 2 hospitals qualifying under the low-income utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the low-income utilization mean for all participating hospitals.

Payments to Group 3 hospitals qualifying under the Medicaid inpatient utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the Medicaid inpatient utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 3 hospitals qualifying under the low-income utilization method will be based on the standard deviation that a facility’s qualifying rate exceeds the low-income utilization mean for all participating hospitals. Payments to Group 3 hospitals will be made according to the payment schedule on the Department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2024. If necessary, payments to qualified hospitals will be adjusted for the projected impact of the hospital’s specific disproportionate share hospital payment limit as required by OBRA ’93. The agency will make disproportionate share hospital program payments to qualifying hospitals prior to the end of the State fiscal year. If the total of disproportionate share payments to all qualified hospitals for a year is going to exceed the State disproportionate share hospital payment limit, as established under 1923(f) of the Act, the following process will be used to prevent overspending the limit: First, the amount of over- expenditure will be determined; Then the over-expenditure amount will be deducted from the total payments to Group 2 hospitals; and Payments to individual Group 2 hospitals will be reduced based on their percentage of Group 2 total payments.

Attachment 4.19-A Page 8a The Department will recover any disproportionate share payments in excess of hospital- specific limits made to qualifying hospitals from those qualifying hospitals. The federal share of the amount recovered may either be returned or redistributed to the remaining qualifying hospitals proportionately based upon their low-income utilization rate or Medicaid inpatient utilization rate (whichever utilization rate results in a higher payment) by using how many standard deviations above the mean the hospital qualified.

Attachment 4.19-A Page9 The State has in place a public process which complies with the requirements of Section 1902 (a) (13) (A) of the Social Security Act. Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities The Department will pay facilities based on a per diem rate prospectively calculated based upon the State fiscal year. The Department will use the same methodology for governmental and private facilities. Providers must submit a cost report on forms designated by the Department identifying allowable costs incurred during the fiscal year. The Department will calculate rates for the facilities based upon each facility's actual allowable costs. Allowable costs include those costs that are ordinary, necessary, reasonable, and adequate to meet costs incurred by those facilities that are related to resident care services in conformance with State and Federal laws and regulations. Allowable cost centers include salaries and benefits for facilities' personnel, payroll taxes, professional fees and contract services, travel/transportation, supplies, occupancy, equipment, depreciation, and other. Non- allowable costs include bad debt, advertising, public relations, and costs not incurred by the facility including the value of donated goods and services. Providers must maintain a daily census report that identifies the number of residents that received services on any particular day. The Department divides allowable and reasonable costs by the census data to calculate the payment rate for the next rate setting period. The census data for a resident is limited to those days in which the resident is actually present in the facility, and is subject to audit by the Department to verify its accuracy in conjunction with the submitted cost report. Each facility must submit an annual Department-approved cost report by September 30 of each year identifying actual, previous State fiscal year historical costs. All cost reports are subject to desk review by the Department. If audit adjustments are made, the facility is notified immediately either by telephone, in writing, or electronic mail. The Department will establish desk audit rates for each facility based on the cost report desk review. The Department calculates the final rate using a minimum occupancy limit of 90% so facilities with occupancy less than 90% will receive per diem rates based upon 90% occupancy. The rate calculated is considered payment in full for all allowable services delivered by the provider to eligible Medicaid recipients. South Dakota Medicaid will pay out-of-state facilities based upon the rate for comparable services established by the Medicaid agency in the state where the facility is located. If no rate is established by the Medicaid agency in that state, then the per diem rate payable to the out-of-state facility will be the lower of billed charges or the average of the per diem rates in effect for in-state facilities at the time the services are first provided by the out- of-state facility. For extraordinary or unusual circumstances South Dakota Medicaid may negotiate a higher per diem on a case-by-case basis. Negotiated per diem rates may not exceed the cost of the services provided by the facility. TN# 24-0014 Supersedes TN# 11-3 Approval Date 10/23/24 Effective Date 7/01/24

All in-state, private hospitals which are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) are eligible for health profession education payments. Those hospitals are identified through the use of their most recently-filed Medicare 2552-10, cost reports. Specifically, worksheet E-4 (Line 1.00) is utilized to identify the number of weighted full-time equivalents for primary care physicians at participating facilities. The agency calculates the Medicaid hospital patient days using the Division of Medical Services (DMS) Cost Settlement Details report of adjudicated claims for the same period as the Medicare 2552 cost report. Hospitals seeking GME payments must submit an application for the previous state fiscal year’s costs to DMS prior to the end of the current state fiscal year. The agency will make payments for costs incurred in the previous state fiscal year, as defined below, annually prior to the end of the current state fiscal year. Payments will be made through the state’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) payment system. Payments will be made directly to the qualifying hospitals through a supplemental payment mechanism. The payment will appear on the facility’s remittance advice. Each hospital will also receive written notification at the time of payment of the payment amount from DMS. GME payments made in error will be recovered via a supplemental recovery mechanism and will appear on the facility’s remittance advice. The agency will notify the facility in writing explaining the error prior to the recovery. The Federal share of payments made in excess will be returned to CMS in accordance with 42 CFR Part 433, Subpart F. A hospital that applied for GME funding in the previous 24 months must provide written notice to DMS no less than 30 days prior to the effective date it intends to terminate operation of a GME program. A hospital must provide written notice to DMS by January 1 if it will not be applying for GME funding for the previous state fiscal year’s costs. The agency will determine the annual lump sum, onetime payment pool. The annual payment will be made during the last quarter of the state fiscal year. The pool will be distributed based upon the allocation percentage of each hospital. The hospital allocation percentage will be developed using prior year total Medicaid inpatient days and weighted intern and resident (I & R) full time equivalency (FTE). The state uses the prior year’s cost report data as a proxy for the current year. For example, the state fiscal year 2008 calculation of allocations from the payment pool was the following: (a) Weighted I & R FTEs (b) Medicaid Hospital Patient Days (c) (a*b) Weighted FTE Days (d) Hospital Allocation Percentage Payment Pool Total Hospital A 17 11,450 194,650 35.34% $1,052,009 Hospital B 22 10,692 232,230 42.16% $1,255,116 Hospital C 23 5,342 123,988 22.51% $670,107 Totals 62 27,484 550,868 100.00% $2,977,233 Total state funds available for payment through the pool are listed on the department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2024. The FMAP at the time the annual payment is made will be applied to the state portion of the payment.

The Center for Family Medicine must be accredited by the ACGME to be eligible for health profession education payments. The state will make equal interim payments to providers on a quarterly basis. Costs must be submitted on a quarterly basis to validate costs for the previous quarter using the state developed South Dakota Rural Residency Program Cost Report and Rural Residency Cost Report Guidelines. The payment will be made to the Center for Family Medicine through the MMIS system. Payments will be made directly to the provider through a supplemental payment mechanism and will appear on their remittance advice. The Center for Family Medicine will receive written notification at the time of payment of the payment amount from DMS. GME payments made in error that cannot be adequately addressed through adjustment of future quarterly payments will be recovered via a supplemental recovery mechanism and will appear on the provider’s remittance advice. The agency will notify the provider in writing explaining the error prior to the recovery. The Federal share of payments made in excess will be returned to CMS in accordance with 42 CFR Part 433, Subpart F. The Center for Family Medicine must provide written notice to DMS no less than 30 days prior to the effective date it intends to terminate operation of its GME program or written notice to DMS no less than 30 days prior to the effective date it will no longer be applying for GME funding. The agency will determine the annual rural residency program payment pool for the upcoming state fiscal year prior to the start of the fiscal year on July 1. The total state funds available for payment through the rural residency program pool are listed on the department’s website, http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/, effective July 1, 2024.

Page 1a ATTACHMENT 4.19-B PAYMENTS FOR MEDICAL AND REMEDIAL CARE AND SERVICES South Dakota Medicaid will make payments to medical providers who sign agreements with the State under which the provider agrees: (a) to accept as payment in full the amounts paid in accordance with the payment structures of the State; (b) to keep such records as are necessary to fully disclose the extent of the services provided to individuals receiving assistance under the State Plan; and (c) to furnish the State Agency with such information, regarding any payments claimed by such person or institution for services provided under the State Plan, as the agency may request from time to time. The following describes policy and methods the agency uses to establish payment rates for each type of care and service, other than inpatient hospital or nursing home services, included in the State Plan. In no instance will the amount of payment under the provisions of this attachment exceed the payment made by the general public for identical services. 1. Inpatient Hospital Services (See Attachment 4.19-A) 2a. Outpatient Hospital Services Effective August 2, 2016, Medicare Prospective Payment System hospitals will be paid using the Medicaid Agency’s Outpatient Prospective Payments System (OPPS). Under OPPS, services are reimbursed using Ambulatory Payment Classifications. Effective August 2, 2016, the Department will establish a conversion factor and discount factor specific to each hospital. The hospital specific conversion factor and discount factors are published on the State agency’s website at http://dss.sd.gov/medicaid/providers/feeschedules/dss/. Effective July 1, 2024, the conversion factor for Medicare Prospective Payment System hospitals paid using the Medicaid Agency’s OPPS will be increased by 4.0 percent for hospitals with a conversion factor less than the Medicare conversion factor. South Dakota Medicaid will pay remaining participating outpatient hospitals with more than 30 Medicaid inpatient discharges during the hospital’s fiscal year ending after June 30, 1993 and before July 1, 1994 on the basis of Medicare principles of reasonable reimbursement with the following exceptions: 1. Costs associated with certified registered nurse anesthetist services are allowable costs. These costs are identified on the CMS 2552-10 on Worksheet A-8 and included in the facilities’ costs. 2. All capital and education costs incurred for outpatient services are allowable costs. These costs are identified on the CMS 2552-10 on Worksheet D Part III and included in the facilities’ costs. 3. Payments to Indian Health Service outpatient hospitals will be per visit and based upon the approved rates published each year in the Federal Register by the Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, under the authority of sections 321(a) and 322(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 248 and 249(b)), Public Law 83-568 (42 U.S.C. 2001(a)), and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). The State agency will make payments for visits of the same type of service on the same day at the same provider location only if the services provided are different or if they have different diagnosis codes.

Page 1b ATTACHMENT 4.19-B PAYMENTS FOR MEDICAL AND REMEDIAL CARE AND SERVICES 4. The agency will make prospective payments to outpatient hospitals based upon Medicare principles and the above exceptions using the CMS 2552-10 Report, Worksheet C, Part 1 lines 50-200 as submitted by the hospitals to determine the Medicare outpatient cost-to-charge ratios (CCRs) for the ancillary cost centers for each hospital. All participating hospitals must submit their Medicare cost reports to the agency within 150 days following the end of their fiscal year. For each hospital, the agency will use average of the ancillary CCRs for that hospital to calculate the hospital-specific reimbursement percentage to apply to outpatient charges from that hospital to determine the prospective Medicaid payment. The remaining instate hospitals will be reimbursed at 90% of billed charges. Hospitals’ charges shall be uniform for all payers and may not exceed the usual and customary charges to private pay patients. Reimbursement for outpatient services at out-of-state hospitals is calculated at 38.2% of the hospitals’ usual and customary charges unless otherwise approved by the State. Reimbursement for outpatient hospital dialysis units will be based on the applicable above-stated outpatient payment methodology.
