Vision Care Bulletin 14 
July 2007


	TO:	Vision Care Providers Participating in MassHealth
	
	FROM:	Tom Dehner, Medicaid Director 

	RE:	Nursing Home/Home Visits for Vision Care Services 
		and Pick-up and Delivery of Eyeglasses



Background	

Effective July 1, 2006, MassHealth limited the use of Service Code T2002 
for the delivery and pick-up of eyeglasses to once per facility per 
date of service. Providers were not permitted to bill Service Code T2002 
for each additional MassHealth member provided with pick-up or delivery 
service to the same facility on the same date.
	

Revised Policy (Service Code T2002)

Effective June 1, 2007, MassHealth pays for Service Code T2002 once per 
member per date of service for each member for whom the provider delivered 
or picked up eyeglasses, or to whom eye exam services were provided, in a 
nursing-home or home setting.

This change will be reflected in revised regulations.
