Action Required

Action needed
Billing team must update DME billing procedures for Connecticut Medicaid patients: Ensure prescriptions for blood pressure monitors include all required elements (member info, diagnosis, length of need, device type, cuff size, prescriber signature). Verify patient eligibility for device (one per member every 3 years). Direct patients to enrolled CMAP DME providers using the HUSKY Health provider directory.
