Summary
Kansas Medicaid clarified billing requirements for Community Mental Health Centers providing attendant care services under the SED Waiver and non-waiver mental health attendant care. Key changes include proper use of place of service codes, EVV billing requirements, and allowance for multiple providers to serve the same patient on the same day in different locations.
Action Required
Immediately: Community Mental Health Centers must update billing procedures to use POS 03-School when providing T1019 HK waiver services in school settings. Ensure claims for T1019 HE services in POS other than 12 are not billed via EVV. Update system to allow multiple CMHCs to bill same day for different locations when documented in Person-Centered Service Plan. Verify proper modifier usage (HK for SED Waiver, HE for dual MH/SUD diagnosis).
