Summary
Illinois Medicaid is offering enhanced payments for psychiatric services provided within Community Mental Health Centers from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Physicians must use the 'UB' modifier and designate the CMHC as the payee to receive the enhanced reimbursement.
Action Required
For Illinois providers partnering with CMHCs: Review claims from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 that were billed without the UB modifier. Submit void and rebill or replacement claims within 12 months of original payment date to receive enhanced payments. Ensure CMHC is listed as valid payee on provider file.
