By December 15, 2000: Billing team must update billing system for New Jersey Medicaid FFS claims to eliminate prior authorization requirements for CPT codes 02950, 02952, 02954 (post and core buildups), 02710, 02720, 02721, 02722, 02750, 02751, 02752, 02790, 02791, 02792 (crowns), 03310, 03320, 03330 (root canals), and 03410, 03411 (apicoectomy). For CPT codes 04341, 04220 (periodontal scaling/root planing), configure system to allow 4 quadrants treated twice annually without PA; require PA only for services exceeding this threshold. For CPT codes 04210, 04211, 04260, 04261, 04262, 04270, 04271, 04272 (periodontal grafting), allow 8 quadrants annually without PA; require PA for services exceeding this threshold. Update provider documentation to reflect these changes. Providers should expect post-payment reviews instead of pre-payment authorization for the eliminated PA services.
