Summary

New Jersey Medicaid is discontinuing multiple AMHR procedure codes (H2018 and Z7333-Z7337 series) effective April 1, 2018, and requiring use of H0019 codes that were already implemented July 1, 2016.

Action Required

Action needed

By April 1, 2018: Billing team must stop using discontinued H2018 and Z7333-Z7337 procedure codes for AMHR services. Update billing system to only allow H0019 codes with appropriate modifiers (U1, U2, U3, U5, and modifier 52 for apartments). Verify all AMHR claims use correct H0019 codes as discontinued codes will be rejected.
