Summary
Oregon Health Authority updated Intensive In-home Behavioral Health Treatment (IIBHT) policies, removing quarterly psychiatric supervision requirements for nurse practitioners and allowing CCOs flexibility in billing codes beyond the standard H0023 code. This is specific to Oregon Medicaid CCO providers serving youth behavioral health services.
Action Required
Oregon Medicaid CCO providers: Review current IIBHT billing practices and consider if alternative billing codes or modifiers would be more appropriate than H0023 for your organization. Update psychiatric consultation documentation using OHA's new Weekly Psychiatric Consultation Tracking template. Ensure staff attend IIBHT Foundations training offered twice monthly. Contact OHA-IIBHT.program@dhsoha.state.or.us with implementation questions.
