Explanations:
- PowerPoint presentation – This training presentation reviews the Compliance Agreement, the OMIG Compliance Program and the State Plan Amendment (SPA) 09-61. Changes resulting from SPA 09-61 primarily surround provider qualifications and the billing methodology for SSHSP.
- Provider Qualifications and Documentation Requirements – This detailed chart identifies the initial requirements and approved Medicaid service providers for each evaluation and service under SSHSP, and clarifies required Medicaid documentation.
- “Under the Direction of”/”Under the Supervision of” – This document provides definitions of “Under the Direction of” (UDO) and “Under the Supervision of” (USO), and includes a chart outlining which providers must receive UDO/USO and who may provide UDO/USO.
- Initial entry into SSHSP – This flow chart explains when evaluations are Medicaid reimbursable.
- List of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes – This document is organized by service type. It contains approximately 100 CPT codes to be used for all dates of service 9/1/2009 and forward. For each CPT code there is a description, special notes if applicable, session time/units, and the 2010 payment rate.
- Special Transportation Rates - Effective 9/1/2009, Special Transportation will be billed on a one-way basis. For example, if the student is picked up and brought home, two one-way rates are billed as long as all other Medicaid requirements are met. There are separate rates for school-aged and preschool students.
- Session Notes and Progress Notes – This document provides definitions of session notes (a Medicaid requirement) and progress notes (a requirement under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). The required elements of a session note are listed.
- SSHSP BILLING/CLAIMING GUIDANCE – This document includes a chart which explains in date-order the documentation requirements for billing Medicaid. It also explains which billing process is to be used (rate code/monthly billing or CPT code/encounter-based billing).
