Summary
This is an informational announcement from the Oregon Health Authority about a new Intensive In-Home Behavioral Health Treatment (IIBHT) program funded by the legislature. The OHA is hosting a series of webinars (beginning February 13, 2020) to educate behavioral health stakeholders, coordinated care organizations, and providers about the program's clinical standards, Medicaid rules, authorization requirements, and implementation details. No immediate billing or coding changes are mandated by this announcement.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing operations. This is a stakeholder notification about a future program. If your practice provides behavioral health services in Oregon and expects to participate in IIBHT, consider: (1) Attending the February 13, 2020 webinar and subsequent sessions listed to understand future authorization and documentation requirements, (2) Monitoring updates from chelsea.holcomb@dhsoha.state.or.us regarding implementation timelines and billing code assignments, (3) Deferring specific billing workflow updates until OHA releases formal program rules (expected after the webinar series concludes in May 2020). Current billing processes remain unchanged.
