Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Ambulance billing teams in Connecticut must update billing systems to use the appropriate 2-digit "D" modifiers (DD, ED, HD, PD, RD) when transporting Medicaid pediatric patients to the four specified DCF-licensed urgent crisis centers. Train staff on proper modifier selection based on origin/destination combinations. Coordinate with Medical Directors per CGS 19a-179f requirements before transport.
