Action Required
No immediate action required. This policy bulletin represents a routine review (last reviewed 2026-10-21) of an existing policy effective since 2026-11-17 (original effective date). The next scheduled review is 2027-08-12. Billing teams should verify current applicability by confirming that the medical necessity criteria for home behavioral healthcare services (physician/BHP ordering, active treatment plan, skilled intermittent/hourly nature, licensed BHP supervision, alternative to hospitalization/RTF/outpatient services, appropriate to condition, and non-custodial) remain unchanged in member benefit plans. No workflow changes are mandated by this publication.
