Summary
CalViva Health has issued new guidelines for trauma-informed care and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) screening for Medi-Cal patients in Fresno, Kings and Madera counties. Providers can bill $29 using HCPCS codes G9919 (high risk score 4+) or G9920 (lower risk score 0-3) for ACEs screenings, with specific frequency limitations and mandatory training requirements for payment after June 30, 2020.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must ensure providers complete mandatory trauma-informed care training and submit attestation to receive payments for ACEs screening after June 30, 2020. Update billing system to use HCPCS G9919 ($29) for high-risk scores (4+) and G9920 ($29) for lower-risk scores (0-3). Configure frequency limits: once per 12 months for patients under 21, once per lifetime for patients 21-65. Submit all claims to Health Net on behalf of CalViva Health within one year of service date. Without training attestation, ACEs screening payments will be denied.
