Summary
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) in Oregon can now use HO and HH modifiers when billing for integrated behavioral health services for Oregon Health Plan members, without needing separate ICD provider approval. This change allows CCBHCs to properly document integrated care for substance use disorder and mental health services.
Action Required
Immediately: CCBHC billing teams must begin using HO and HH modifiers when billing Oregon Health Plan for substance use disorder and mental health services. Update billing system to allow these modifiers for CCBHC claims without ICD provider approval requirements. Train staff on proper modifier usage to ensure integrated care documentation meets CCBHC program requirements.
