Summary
Medi-Cal providers can receive additional payment for screening patients for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) starting January 1, 2020, but effective July 1, 2020, providers must complete certified online training and self-attest to receive payment for ACEs screenings.
Action Required
By July 1, 2020: Providers must complete the 2-hour online training at https://training.acesaware.org/ and self-attest completion using the Trauma Screening Training Attestation form at https://www.medi-cal.ca.gov/TSTA/TSTAattest.aspx. Billing team should verify provider training completion before submitting ACEs screening claims to avoid payment denials.
