Aug 4, 2026
Summary
Louisiana Medicaid has issued a revised policy on Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST), an intensive home/family and community-based treatment program for youth ages 12-17 at risk for or returning from out-of-home placement. This is a summary-only update with no specific billing codes, rates, or coverage changes detailed. Billing teams must obtain the full policy document to determine if this affects current MST billing practices.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing and clinical staff must obtain the complete policy document from the source URL (https://dctm.humana.com/Mentor/Web/v.aspx?objectID=090009298a59617c) to determine if MST billing codes, prior authorization requirements, or documentation standards have changed. Contact Louisiana Medicaid or Humana for the effective date and full policy details. Do not bill MST services under previous assumptions until the complete revised policy is reviewed. Update encounter forms and billing software once full policy details are available.
