From Andy Terry, Vice President of Revenue Management, Baptist Health Care:
Baptist Health Care took this request from AHCA for certification of our Medicaid Managed Care rates very seriously.
Because the August 1, 2015 due date for the response fell on a Saturday, based on our prior experience with AHCA filings, we believed that the due date would automatically be extended to Monday, August 3, which was the next business day. We believed that we were still timely in submitting our response on Monday, August 3.
We responded fully to AHCAs request for certification of our Medicaid Managed Care rates and we confirmed that we are in compliance with the governing statute.
