Summary
New HCPCS coding requirements for Community Supports housing services outreach efforts. Providers must now report specific HCPCS code T1016 with modifiers U8 (in-person) or U8+GQ (telephonic) for both successful and unsuccessful outreach in 15-minute increments, following the Rule of Eights.
Action Required
Immediately: Community Supports providers must begin reporting HCPCS code T1016 with appropriate modifiers (U8 for in-person, U8+GQ for telephonic outreach) for housing transition, deposits, and sustaining services outreach efforts. Update billing system to capture 15-minute increment tracking. Note: Claims will auto-adjudicate as $0.00 for reporting purposes only. Stop reporting once member enrolls in services.
