| Guttmacher Resources | |  Guttmacher Launches Financial Sustainability Calculator for Safety-Net Family Planning Centers
A new online tool created by the Guttmacher Institute will help safety-net health centers that provide family planning services assess their financial sustainability in an evolving US health care system. Specifically, the tool will enable centers to estimate the extent to which they are maximizing reimbursement from Medicaid and private insurance.
Policy Analysis: Safety-Net Family Planning Providers Still Critical for both Uninsured and Insured Clients
Newly released results from a small-scale investigation by Guttmacher Institute of Title X sites that found a decrease in uninsured visits, and reiterates the enduring need for Title X. The report notes that although the Affordable Care Act has significantly changed the state of health insurance coverage in the country, there are still many people who are uninsured and need family planning care. The report states that, "this reality highlights the enduring need for the nationwide network of safety-net family planning providers. It also demonstrates yet again the important role of the flexible funding provided by Title X." Read the full report here.

Changes in Family Planning Coding: Updates to ICD-10 Take Effect October 1, 2016
Family planning providers will soon have access to new diagnosis codes, including those that better reflect the full range of contraceptive methods currently available on the market. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reviewed the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10) for use in the US and published changes that will take effect on October 1, 2016. This set of updates are collectively known as the 2017 Addenda and are to be used for patient encounters occurring from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017.
NFPRHA has reviewed the published changes and condensed them into an easily accessible list specifically for family planning providers. Visit NFPRHA's websiteto find out more about these changes to ICD-10-CM.
Amanda Kimber is a Director for NFPRHA's Service Delivery Improvement concentration and primarily responsible for member assistance related to revenue cycle management. Please contact Amanda at 202-293-3114 ext. 215 or akimber@nfprha.org with any questions or concerns.
