Summary
Kansas Medicaid (KMAP) introduced a new billing code S9484U1 for Crisis Intervention Services effective October 1, 2024, with specific time-based billing requirements and a reimbursement rate of $88.48 per hour. Services require a minimum of 31 minutes to bill one unit, with detailed incremental billing rules for longer sessions.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must add new code S9484U1 to billing system for Crisis Intervention Services. Configure system to enforce minimum 31-minute requirement (0 units for 0-30 minutes, 1 unit for 31-60 minutes, etc.). Train staff on incremental billing rules (1.25 units for 61-75 minutes, 1.50 for 76-90 minutes, 2 units for 91-120 minutes). Update encounter forms and EMR templates to capture exact service minutes, not units. Verify claims show service minutes converted to proper unit calculations before submission.
