Benefits Improvement and Protection Act (BIPA) of 2000
BIPA, which was enacted on December 21, 2000, amended Titles XVIII, XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act to provide benefits improvements and beneficiary protections in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and the State child health insurance program (SCHIP), as revised by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and the Medicare and Medicaid and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999.
SECTION 702 of BIPA
This section amended section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act by repealing the reasonable cost-based reimbursement requirements for Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and rural health clinics (RHCs) services at section 1902(a)(13(C). Section 702 required section 1902(a)(15) be added requiring a Medicaid payment for FQHCs/RHCs be consistent with a new prospective payment system described in section 1902(aa) of the Act. This new Medicaid payment system is effective for services provided on or after January 1, 2001.
