Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services Office of Medicaid www.mass.gov/masshealth MassHealth Transmittal Letter CHC-98 December 2013 TO: Community Health Centers Participating in MassHealth FROM: Kristin L. Thorn, Medicaid Director RE: Community Health Center Manual (2013 HCPCS and Vaccine Codes) This letter transmits revisions to Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has revised the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) for 2013. MassHealth has updated Subchapter 6 to reflect these changes. In addition, MassHealth has added certain vaccine service codes to Subchapter 6. The revised Subchapter 6 is effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2013, with the exception of the vaccine service codes specified below, which are effective for dates of service on or after September 1, 2013. Community health centers (CHCs) should use the American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) 2013 code book or the Healthcare Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II code book to get service descriptions for the codes listed in Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual. Please Note: MassHealth pays for the services represented by the codes listed in Subchapter 6 in effect at the time of service, subject to all conditions and limitations in MassHealth regulations at 130 CMR 405.000 and 450.000. A CHC may request prior authorization (PA) for any medically necessary service reimbursable under the federal Medicaid Act in accordance with 130 CMR 450.144, 42 U.S.C. 1396d(a), and 42 U.S.C. 1396d(r)(5), for a MassHealth Standard or CommonHealth member younger than 21 years of age even if it is not designated as covered or payable in the Community Health Center Manual. If you wish to obtain a fee schedule, you may download the Executive Office of Health and Human Services or Division of Health Care Finance and Policy (DHCFP) regulations, as applicable, at no cost at http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/gov/laws-regs/hhs/community-health-care- providers-ambulatory-care.html. The specific regulation titles are 114.3 CMR 18.00: Radiology, 114.3 CMR 20.00: Clinical Laboratory Services, 101 CMR 304.00: Rates for Community Health Centers, 114.3 CMR 16.00: Surgery and Anesthesia, and 101 CMR 317.00: Medicine. MassHealth Transmittal Letter CHC-98 December 2013 Page 2 Vaccine Service Codes Payable to CHCs Effective for dates of service on or after September 1, 2013, MassHealth has added the following vaccine service codes to Section 604 of Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual: 90653, 90654, 90733, 90734, and 90739 – each for adults aged 19 years and older; 90672 – for adults aged 19 through 49; Each of the above vaccines are available free of charge through the Massachusetts Immunization Program for children under 19 years of age. 90655 and 90657 – only for privately purchased vaccine. In order to use either of these two codes (90655 and 90657), the vaccine must not otherwise be available free of charge through the Massachusetts Immunization Program. Vaccines supplied by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) free of charge are not payable by MassHealth. MassHealth separately pays CHCs for vaccines not supplied by DPH free of charge, only if the vaccine is listed in Section 604(C) of Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual. The cost of the administration of the vaccine is included in the CHC visit rate (T1015) and is not separately payable. If a CHC is appropriately billing an evaluation and management visit code under Section 604(B) of Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual, the CHC may separately bill for the administration of the vaccine in addition to the evaluation and management visit service code, provided that the vaccine administration is a medically necessary, separately identifiable service. Under these circumstances, the CHC may append modifier 25 to the applicable evaluation and management visit code under Section 604(B). MassHealth has accordingly added payable vaccine administration codes to Section 604(B) of Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual for use if the conditions are met. This policy went into effect for dates of service on or after July 1, 2012. See MassHealth All Provider Bulletin 236 for additional information. Information about the availability of DPH-supplied vaccines can be found on the following DPH websites. www.mass.gov/dph http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/gov/departments/dph/programs/id/immunization/ For additional information and individual consideration (IC) requirements, see Section 604 of Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual and MassHealth regulations at 130 CMR 450.271. MassHealth Transmittal Letter CHC-98 December 2013 Page 3 Molecular Pathology HCPCS Changes The service codes formerly used for molecular diagnostics (HCPCS 83890 – 83914) were no longer in use beginning January 1, 2013, and have been deleted from the CPT Manual and Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual. Tier 1/Tier 2 molecular pathology HCPCS (HCPCS 81200- 81408) have been added to the CPT Manual as a replacement. However, because CMS has yet to formally adopt and set rates for these replacement codes, MassHealth also will not pay for these newly established procedure codes. Providers performing molecular diagnostic services are requested to bill for these services using the unlisted molecular pathology code 81479. Since this code is priced at individual consideration, all claims billed with this code must include a brief description of the service, clinical documentation, and any necessary supporting documentation that justifies the billed amount of this service. This supporting documentation must include a description of how this claim would have been billed using the newly deleted molecular diagnostic codes (HCPCS 83890 – 83914) if appropriate.
