FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do South Dakota Medicaid plans have to pay the state fee schedule?

The plan contracts we reviewed do not tie plan payment to the state's rates for most lines; plans negotiate rates with providers.

Where do these rules come from?

From South Dakota's managed-care plan contracts, state statutes and regulations, provider notices and CMS-approved directed-payment filings. Each rate in the workspace carries its citation.

Can I see what each plan actually pays?

No plan publishes its provider fee schedule. The closest public signals are the binding rules above, state-set rates, directed payments and the state's own payment-level estimates in its directed-payment filings.
