Summary
Maryland Medicaid implements multiple policy changes including Carr v. Becerra reimbursements for dual beneficiaries, pharmacy claim denials for unenrolled prescribers starting January 3, 2024, expanded gender-affirming treatment coverage, and unique NPI requirements for facilities by February 1, 2024.
Action Required
By January 3, 2024: Verify all prescribers are enrolled in Maryland Medicaid to prevent pharmacy claim denials for non-behavioral health drugs. By February 1, 2024: Ensure each facility location has a unique NPI for billing. Process any Carr v. Becerra reimbursement requests by completing attestation forms and submitting paper claims. Update billing systems to accommodate new gender-affirming treatment codes (see PT 36-24). Claims will be denied if prescribers are not enrolled or if shared NPIs are used after deadlines.
