Summary
Health Net California is allowing Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS) providers to deliver services via telehealth, home visits, and alternative methods during COVID-19, maintaining existing per diem reimbursement rates. Providers must obtain CDA approval and submit weekly participant communication logs to Health Net for billing.
Action Required
CBAS providers must: 1) Submit CDA forms 7012, 7013, and ADH 0006 by April 20, 2020 for approval to provide temporary alternative services, 2) Maintain minimum 6 hours daily phone/email access Monday-Friday, 3) Submit weekly participant communication logs every Friday by fax to 1-833-581-5908, 4) Document all services per existing health record standards plus ACL 20-07 requirements. Billing team should note that reimbursement is retroactive to March 16, 2020 but subject to recoupment if CDA approval requirements aren't met.
