Summary

Pennsylvania Medical Assistance (Medicaid) is transitioning from local procedure codes to national HIPAA-compliant codes for medical foster care services. Four local Y-codes (Y3223, Y3224, Y3225, Y3226) are being discontinued and replaced with national procedure codes effective November 1, 2005.

Action Required

Action needed
By November 1, 2005: Medical foster care providers must stop using local procedure codes Y3223, Y3224, Y3225, and Y3226. Update billing system to use the national procedure codes specified in the attached crosswalk document. Services rendered on or before October 31, 2005 must use local codes; services on or after November 1, 2005 must use national codes. Failure to use correct national codes and modifiers will result in claim denials or inappropriate payments.
