The Safety-Net Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) is seeking the state Department of Human Services’ assistance with millions in unpaid Medicaid fee-for-service claims.
According to SNAP, the state’s Place of Services Review and Utilization Review processes are not addressing fee-for-services claims in a timely manner, leaving safety-net hospitals with large, long-overdue receivables.  Eight SNAP members alone currently await payments of more than $30 million, and in many cases, some of those unpaid claims are more than a year old.
SNAP is seeking a meeting with state officials to discuss the problem and possible solutions.
