Summary
Connecticut Medicaid (HUSKY Health) reduced the follow-up care period included with radiotherapy treatment fees from one year to 90 days from the last treatment date. This change only applies to the radiotherapy provider's clinical follow-up, not the overall oncology care provider's follow-up visits.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must update radiotherapy billing procedures for Connecticut Medicaid/HUSKY Health members. Follow-up visits by radiotherapy providers can only be bundled for 90 days after the last radiotherapy treatment (changed from 1 year). Separate billing required for follow-up visits beyond 90 days. Update billing system rules to flag radiotherapy follow-up visits after 90-day period for separate billing.
