Summary
NJ FamilyCare (New Jersey's Medicaid program) has added Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) as approved billing and servicing providers. This expands the types of mental health professionals who can bill NJFC directly for covered services.
Action Required
Immediately: Credentialing team should verify if practice employs LCSWs who need to enroll as NJ FamilyCare providers. Billing team must update provider enrollment systems to include LCSW credentials for NJFC billing. Contact NJFC to initiate enrollment process for any qualifying LCSWs.
