Summary
Kansas Medicaid now allows concurrent billing of H2011 Crisis Intervention services with up to 6 total hours when two staff provide services simultaneously. When two providers are involved, the second claim must include modifier 77, with re-evaluation required every 72 hours by a QMHP.
Action Required
Immediately: Update billing system to allow concurrent H2011 billing with modifier 77 for second provider when two staff provide Crisis Intervention services. Ensure claims show individual provider units (not combined totals). Clinical staff must document need for dual staffing in member charts and schedule QMHP re-evaluations every 72 hours. Note: MCO implementation dates may vary - check KanCare Open Claims Resolution Log for your specific MCO status.
