Medicare Advantage Wrap-Around Payment - JE Part A

For claims with the 0519 revenue code, the "wraparound," or Medicare Advantage (MA) supplemental payment is based on the PPS rate without comparison to the provider's charge. For a FQHC visit, Medicare will compare the PPS rate with the MA contract rate.

When the MA contract rate is lower than the PPS rate, the contractor will pay the difference, minus any cost sharing amount owed by the beneficiary, as a supplemental wraparound payment. The FQHC does not qualify for a supplemental wraparound payment when the MA contract rate is higher than the PPS rate.
