As there was a delay until mid-October in finalizing the psychiatric add-on payments, claims submitted prior to that would not have received the add-on. Providers may submit replacement claims to receive the correct reimbursement. The Department will accept electronic transactions submitted through MEDI or via 837P files to replace a paid claim, if submitted within 12 months from the original paid voucher date. Instructions for replacement claim submittal may be found in the Chapter 300 Companion Guide.

 

The Practitioner Fee Schedule has been updated with a specific sheet that identifies the procedure codes and psychiatric add-on payments.

Questions regarding this notice may be directed to the Bureau of Professional and Ancillary Services at 877-782-5565 for fee-for-service claims, or to the applicable managed care plan.
