Summary
New Jersey Medicaid is conducting a survey to identify nursing facility residents with mental illness/mental retardation whose care is reimbursed through private pay, insurance, or non-Medicaid sources. This appears to be a data collection initiative rather than a billing policy change.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing teams unless your practice provides services to New Jersey nursing facilities with residents who have mental illness/mental retardation and are privately insured. Monitor for follow-up communications that may affect billing procedures based on survey results.
