ODM Announces Updates on Electronic Pregnancy Risk Assessment FormIn a message, the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) thanked those who have been working to increase the electronic submission of a critical component of Medicaid's Maternal and Infant Support Program--the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Form (e-PRAF). Changes in OAC 5160-1-60, effective July 1, 2021, increased the fee-for-service rate for electronic submission from $12.10 to $90 to recognize and support providers in their use of the electronic form. ODM has since become aware that a system modification required to implement the e-PRAF rate increase is using different coding than what was originally communicated and published in appendix DD to the Medicaid payment rule (OAC 5160-1-60). This notice only applies to fee for service. Corrected coding guidance is reflected below.
