Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must verify current prior authorization requirements using updated IHCP Professional Fee Schedule online before submitting claims. Update telemedicine billing procedures to use IHCP covered codes per bulletins BT202022 and BT202034 instead of CPT 99441-99443 for fee-for-service Traditional Medicaid. For COVID-19 testing, use CPT codes U0001, U0002, and 87635 with revenue codes 300 and 310. Document home-based telemedicine services while billing clinic address in field 33 of CMS-1500 forms.
