Medicaid Pediatric Healthcare Recovery Program – Year 2

With funding from the Medicaid Pediatric Healthcare Recovery grant, KIDSNET has launched a new immunization report in the KIDSNET reporting system that will assist practices in identifying children that are due for immunizations. Instructions on the use of this report can be found here.

Practices can expect to receive their January monthly KIDSNET performance report around the 18^th of the month which will provide a status of practice’s eligibility for payment based on achievement of 3 out of 4 immunization/lead screening targets or improvement targets. Practices should’ve received an email from EOHHS outlining a one-time opportunity to appeal performance results, should practices uncover data missing from KIDSNET that would make them eligible for meeting targets/improvement targets. Here is a copy of the communication from EOHHS, outlining the appeal process. Your practice facilitators are here to help.

Second Medicaid Pediatric Healthcare Recovery Program payment is scheduled for early February and is contingent on meeting 3 out of 4 immunization/lead screening targets or improvement targets based on January 15 KIDSNET data.

Practices are additionally eligible for participation payment based on practice staff attending 4 out of 6 Behavioral Health ECHO® Learning Sessions with practice payment due in July 2023.

Please register for the January 26 Behavioral Health ECHO learning session. The topics and dates for the ECHO series are:

All practices participating in the Medicaid Pediatric Healthcare Recovery Program (Year 2) are encouraged to attend the February 2 (moved from January 5), Improving Child Health in RI (formerly PCMH Kids Stakeholder) meeting where information on how to access the new KIDSNET Immunization Reports and Family Visiting Reports will be shared with practices. Zoom: https://ctc-ri.zoom.us/j/95963024930?pwd=NHMzOGVZdEkzdTQyVk0yZE9CWi80dz09 or one tap mobile: +16468769923,,95963024930#,,,,,,0#,,646876#.
