Summary
Connecticut Medicaid providers billing methadone maintenance treatment must follow special billing procedures for the last week of January 2018 due to new reimbursement logic implementation. Claims cannot span across January-February 2018, and a prorated 4-day rate will be applied for January 28-31, 2018.
Action Required
For January 28-31, 2018: Methadone providers must submit claims for the last week of January separately using the DSS-loaded prorated 4-day rate instead of spanning dates across months. Starting February 1, 2018: Resume normal billing with date spanning allowed as long as units match dates of service. Update billing procedures to prevent claims spanning January-February 2018 implementation period.
