HOVENSA cuts price for regular by 4 cents
Daily News Staff
ST. CROIX — After two weeks of significant increases in wholesale gasoline prices in the territory, some of the prices slipped slightly downward today as HOVENSA adjusted its rack rates.
The changes lowered the rack rates — the price of fuel purchased wholesale at the HOVENSA truck loading station on St. Croix — for regular gasoline by 4 cents per gallon and for premium gasoline by a penny per gallon, while diesel fuel increased by 4 cents per gallon.
Under today's adjustments, independent gas station operators in the territory now are paying $3.45 per gallon for regular gasoline, $3.79 per gallon for premium gasoline, and $3.57 per gallon for diesel fuel when they buy their fuel wholesale at HOVENSA. Those prices include the 14-cents-per-gallon tax that the refinery collects for the government.

The rack rates influence retail gasoline prices in the territory because independent gas station operators can buy their gasoline at the loading station, then resell it to their customers. The new rates are effective through Sunday.
On the retail side, average retail gasoline prices in the U.S. on Thursday were also slightly down from a week ago, according to the American Automobile Association.
The average retail gasoline price in the U.S. on Thursday was $3.648 per gallon for regular, $3.976 per gallon for premium, and $3.883 per gallon for diesel fuel, according to AAA.

Medicaid reimbursements to increase
Daily News Staff
ST. CROIX — The V.I. Human Services Department on Friday released a notice of intent to amend the V.I. Medicaid State Plan concerning the reimbursement of enrolled physicians.
The statement indicates that Medicaid reimbursement in the territory may be increasing.
For services provided in the territory, "upon approval by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with a target effective date of Aug. 1, 2013, physicians in private practice enrolled as V.I. Medicaid Program enrolled providers will be eligible to receive reimbursement from the U.S. Virgin Islands Medicaid program for both inpatient and outpatient services" at 100 percent of the V.I. Medicare allowable rate, the release states.
"All such services must be authorized from the department or its agents," the release said.
For physician services provided outside the territory, the V.I. Medicaid Program will reimburse physicians enrolled in the V.I. Medicaid Program for both inpatient and outpatient services at the Medicare rate in the state where the service was rendered, according to the release.
