Organ acquisition fee (per organ): Medicaid rates by state

This is a service-level benchmark rather than a single code: each state's headline rate for organ acquisition fee (per organ) is chosen to match the same service and the same provider level.

• Provider level. States are compared at the same provider level wherever the schedule distinguishes one. Rates for other levels on file (any qualified provider) are kept separate, never mixed into this ranking.
• Unit. None of the 1 schedules prints a separate unit for their headline rate, so each amount is a flat payment for one service as the code defines it. The ranking uses the rate as published, so read the unit before comparing two states.
• Variants. 1 of the 1 states publish more than one rate for this service (by modifier, program, setting or provider type); the headline rate is the one that matches the comparison, and the workspace lists every variant.
• Depth. 35 rates for this service are on file across all states, versions and provider levels; this page shows one headline rate per state.

The highest-paying state, Connecticut, pays $115,321.00; the lowest, Connecticut, pays $115,321.00. 1 of the 1 states pay above the median of —. Common reasons rates for hospital inpatient services spread this way:

• Some states still pay certain hospitals or stays per day instead of per discharge.
• States use different inpatient grouper systems, so a diagnosis-related group weight in one state is not comparable with a weight from another grouper.
• Base rates are often hospital-specific, adjusted for wages, teaching and other factors, so the same weight produces a different payment at each hospital.

Billing notes

A value here may be a relative weight, an average length of stay, an outlier threshold or another pricing input. The payment is the weight multiplied by the hospital's base rate.
