The purpose of this General Information System (GIS) message is to advise local departments of social services (LDSS) of the new episodic payment system for Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA) services. Many questions have been raised regarding the application of an individual’s spenddown toward episodic CHHA claims. This GIS message provides information on the application of a Medicaid recipient’s spenddown toward the cost of these services.
