Summary

Pennsylvania Medical Assistance (Medicaid) is replacing local procedure codes W0979, W9068, and W9077 with national HIPAA-compliant codes for case management services. Services rendered before November 1, 2005 must use old local codes, while services on/after November 1, 2005 must use the new national codes with appropriate modifiers.

Action Required

Action needed
Before November 1, 2005: Case management providers must update billing systems to use new national procedure codes and modifiers instead of local codes W0979, W9068, and W9077.
