Total SBHCs in US, Map: Distribution of SBHCs, 2008

Why State Funds Matter Nearly one in two school-based health centers rely on state-directed public funds to help sustain their services.

Data Sets Department of Public Health State Policy Survey – Target: State public health agencies (inc. DC, PR) – Objective: assess types and amount of state SBHC funding, technical support and data collection. – Response = 52 agencies (inc. DC, PR) Medicaid State Policy Survey – Target: State Medicaid agencies (inc. DC, PR) – Objective: assess state Medicaid SBHC policies – Reponse Rate = 41 agencies (inc. DC)

Department of Public Health State Policy Survey

Summary Number of states with investments has stabilized over decade 15 states with decade-old program – Only AR, DC, IN and TX joined ranks in last 10 years Funding remains stable – in spite of state revenue woes More work to be done in Medicaid/CHIP to assure payment, role for SBHCs as medical home Future: aligning SBHC strengths with health care reform goals

“Out of the Box” Finance Strategies

Community Benefit Plans Affordable Care Act requires tax-exempt hospitals and health care organizations to conduct periodic community health needs assessments every three years and adopt plans to meet assessed needs. Include input from persons representative of broad community interests including those with special knowledge or public health expertise. Adopt implementation strategies to meet the community health needs identified through the assessment. Report annually how it is addressing the needs identified in the community health needs assessment and IRS reporting Describe needs not being addressed including reasons why such needs are not being addressed. Many states require tax-exempt hospitals to conduct community needs assessments and develop community benefit plans, in varying degrees of specifications.

Community Benefit Assists with maintaining tax exempt status Value of what a tax exempt health care organization is giving back to the community compared to revenue it is collecting Includes programs or activities that provide treatment and/or promote health and healing as a response to identified community needs And meets at least one of the following criteria – Improves access to health care services – Enhances health of the community – Advances medical or health knowledge – Relieves or reduces the burden of government or other community efforts

Community Benefit Programs or activities that provide treatment and/or promote health and healing as a response to identified community needs And meets at least one of the following criteria – Improves access to health care services – Enhances health of the community – Advances medical or health knowledge – Relieves or reduces the burden of government or other community efforts Marketing must not be the primary purpose

Hospital OPD Facility Fees /Charges Fact : Out Patient Departments (OPDs) of hospitals are reimbursed 80% more for a 15 minute Evaluation and Management Visit than a private physician’s practice Reason: Hospital OPDs are allowed to add facility fees or charges to the rate billed for each visit. This policy is meant to cover the increased costs of delivering these services in a hospital related setting. Result: : Hospitals are purchasing physician practices and converting them to hospital OPDs without changing their location or patient mix. Question : Can hospital sponsored SBHCs add facility charges to their Medicaid bills? Yes, for now CMS 2012 Recommendation: Realign allowed payment rates over a three year period: lowering OPD rates and increasing free standing physician practice rates

Federal Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Program Fundamentals Located in or serve a high need community Governed by a community board Provide comprehensive primary care services and supportive services (education, translation, transportation) that promote health care access Provide services available to all based on ability to pay Meet performance and accountability requirements (administrative, clinical, and financial operations0
