AI Contract Overview
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is soliciting applications from eligible in-state psychiatric hospitals to provide inpatient and outpatient services to MassHealth members for Rate Year 2026. The contract term runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with the possibility of extensions for up to five additional years. Award decisions are based on a pass/fail determination regarding program participation requirements, eligibility, and the submission of a complete application. Eligible providers must be licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health and accredited by a recognized national agency, such as The Joint Commission. Reimbursement is structured through a rate-based model, including a standard inpatient per diem of $954.59, specialized rates for neurodevelopmental ($1,936.21) and eating disorder ($1,500.00) services, and various admission rates ranging from $350 to $3,625. Outpatient services are reimbursed based on a 64.8% cost-to-charge ratio. Additionally, providers can participate in a Clinical Quality Incentive (CQI) program with a total pool of $3,875,000, where payments are determined by quality scores derived from chart-abstracted and claims-based performance data. Contractors must adhere to strict regulatory standards, including HIPAA compliance, the Massachusetts personal data protection laws, and specific discharge planning procedures for members at risk of homelessness. The agreement prohibits the assignment of contract duties and requires full cooperation with the Medicaid Fraud Division and the Bureau of Special Investigations. Providers are also required to submit annual cost reports using the Uniform Medicaid and Uncompensated Care Cost and Charge Report (UCCR) for the reconciliation of overpayments.
