Summary
New Jersey allows Medical Day Care providers to deliver telephonic and in-home services instead of on-site care during COVID-19 facility closures. Providers can bill using their existing authorized codes for these alternative service delivery methods at contracted rates.
Action Required
Medical Day Care providers should implement telephonic wellness assessments, coordinate home meal/supply delivery, and arrange face-to-face visits when facilities are closed due to COVID-19. Document all telephonic contact, meal/supply delivery, and face-to-face visits as requested by members. Continue billing with existing authorized codes from Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare health plans, but ensure affirmative member contact before billing.
