Summary
Michigan Medicaid now allows portable X-ray suppliers to directly bill and receive reimbursement for transportation services when providing diagnostic radiology to Medicaid beneficiaries residing in nursing facilities. These transportation charges are no longer bundled into the nursing facility per diem rate and will be paid separately through the Medicaid fee schedule.
Action Required
Immediately: Portable X-ray suppliers serving Michigan Medicaid beneficiaries in nursing facilities should verify their enrollment status with MDHHS and update billing procedures to separately bill transportation charges for diagnostic radiology services. Review current fee schedules at www.michigan.gov/medicaidproviders for covered codes and rates. Contact relevant Medicaid Health Plans or Integrated Care Organizations for specific claim processing requirements for managed care members.
