Summary
Health Net has updated guidance for providers treating patients with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. Providers can bill for ACEs screenings after completing required 2-hour online training and self-attestation to DHCS, with training available ongoing for those who missed the original July 1, 2020 deadline.
Action Required
Providers who want to bill for ACEs screenings must: 1) Complete the 2-hour online training at training.acesaware.org/, 2) Submit self-attestation using the DHCS Trauma Screening Training Attestation form, 3) Begin billing for ACEs screenings the month after completing attestation. Training can still be completed if the original July 1, 2020 deadline was missed.
