Summary

New Jersey Medicaid increased reimbursement rates for Personal Care Assistant services from $22.00 to $23.00 per hour effective January 1, 2022, affecting billing codes T1019 and S9122. Providers must use the entire $1.00 increase to raise PCA worker wages and retain documentation proving compliance.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must verify that claims for codes T1019 and S9122 for PCA services are processing at the new $23.00 hourly rate in billing system. Contact mahs.provider-inquiries@dhs.nj.gov if claims are not processing at increased rate. Providers must retain adequate documentation showing the $1.00 rate increase was passed through to PCA worker wages, as failure to do so may result in remediation and penalties.
