Summary
Maryland's EPSDT Private Duty Nursing regulations are being amended to eliminate newborn early discharge assessment as a covered service (now covered under Home Health Services) and remove requirements for nurses to sign physical licenses since verification is now electronic.
Action Required
By January 22, 2008: Maryland providers must stop billing for newborn early discharge assessment services under EPSDT Private Duty Nursing regulations. These services should now be billed under COMAR 10.09.04 Home Health Services. Update personnel files to remove signed license requirements - electronic license verification is now acceptable.
