Summary
IHCP clarified enrollment and billing requirements for newly added behavioral health professionals. Licensed Independent Practice School Psychologists must provide additional documentation for enrollment, and when employed by school corporations providing IEP services, claims must be billed using the school corporation's NPI rather than the individual provider's credentials.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must ensure any Licensed Independent Practice School Psychologists employed by school corporations providing IEP services are billed using the school corporation's National Provider Identifier (NPI) only. Do not identify the individual behavioral health professional on claims. Update billing system rules to prevent individual provider billing for school-employed behavioral health professionals.
