(Washington, DC) – The Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) today announced that AmeriHealth Mercy Family of Companies (AMFC) will assume operations of DC Chartered Health Plan, Inc. on May 1, 2013 and will be responsible for the payment of only those beneficiary claims with a date of service on or after this date. As a part of the agreement to assume operations of the DC Chartered Health Plan, AMFC will oversee processing of all outstanding claims with a date of service prior to May 1, 2013, but will not assume financial responsibility.
The District of Columbia pays qualified providers for certain primary care and vaccine administration services at an enhanced rate that is equal to 100% of the Medicare fee schedule. The increased payment applies to both fee-for service and managed care claims. Practitioners who are paid through another provider such as a hospital or a federally-qualified health center are not eligible for the increased payment.
