Abstract: An MMIS APD template is required for States to request FFP funding for implementing the provision and is also the tool for requesting deactivation of edits, due to direct conflicts with State laws, regulations, administrative rules, or payment policies. CMS has developed an MMIS-APD template specific to NCCI for State convenience.

Short Statement: Section 6507 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act amends section 1903(r) of the Social Security Act (the Act). As amended, it requires CMS to take three specific actions by September 1, 2010. First CMS must notify States of NCCI methodologies that are "compatible" with claims filed with Medicaid to promote correct coding and control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment of claims under Medicaid. Second, CMS must notify States of the NCCI methodologies (or any successor initiative to promote correct coding and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment) that should be incorporated for claims filed with Medicaid for which no national correct coding methodology has been established for Medicare. Third, CMS must inform States as to how they must incorporate these methodologies for claims filed under Medicaid. By March 1, 2011, CMS must submit a report to Congress that includes the September 1, 2010, notice to States and an analysis supporting these methodologies. Section 1903(r)(1)(B)(iv), as amended, requires that States incorporate compatible methodologies of the NCCI administered by the Secretary and such other methodologies as the Secretary identifies, effective for Medicaid claims filed on or after October 1, 2010.
