Bulletin
Effective Date:

To:
All Providers of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services Participating in the Virginia Medical Assistance Programs and Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs)
From:
Cheryl J. Roberts, Acting Director Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS)

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform Providers of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services that, effective July 1, 2022, the rates for outpatient rehabilitation providers will be increased to reflect a 7.40% inflation adjustment in accordance with Chapter 12 of the Virginia Administrative Code, Section 30-80-200.

As stated in the June 28, 2022 bulletin on “Implementation of new rates from 2022 State Budget Appropriations,” DMAS is diligently working on the implementation of new rates set forth in the 2023 Appropriation Act approved by Governor Youngkin June 22, 2022. The new fiscal year 2023 rates may not be posted online before July 1, 2022. At this time providers have the option to bill immediately under old rates, and later adjust their claims or delay billing until rates are updated. Additionally, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) are working to update their rate systems, but providers will need to work with their MCO partners to determine billing procedures.

Outpatient rehabilitation rates effective July 1, 2022 may be found on the DMAS web site at www.dmas.virginia.gov/for-providers/rates-and-rate-setting under Rehab Agencies.
