Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services Office of Medicaid 600 Washington Street Boston, MA 02111 www.mass.gov/masshealth MassHealth Transmittal Letter CHC-80 June 2008 TO: Community Health Centers Participating in MassHealth FROM: Tom Dehner, Medicaid Director RE: Community Health Center Manual (2008 HCPCS) This letter transmits revisions to the service codes and descriptions in 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 2008. Please Note: The 2008 HCPCS additions may be used for dates of service on or after July 1, 2008, and are found in the attached revised Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual. 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 provider 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. For more information about payment, you may download the Division of Health Care Finance and Policy (DHCFP) regulations at no cost at www.mass.gov/dhcfp. You may also purchase a paper copy of the DHCFP regulations from either the Massachusetts State Bookstore or from DHCFP (see addresses and telephone numbers below). You must contact them first to find out the price of the paper copy of the publication. The regulation titles are as follows: 114.3 CMR 18.00: Radiology; 114.3 CMR 20.00: Clinical Laboratory Services; 114.3 CMR 4.00: Rates for Community Health Centers; 114.3 CMR 17.00: Medicine.

Reminder to Use a Modifier When Billing for Behavioral Health Screening Tools The administration and scoring of standardized behavioral-health screening tools selected from the approved menu of tools found in Appendix W of your provider manual is covered for members (except MassHealth Limited) from birth to 21 years of age. Service Code 96110 must be accompanied by one of the modifiers listed in Section 612 to indicate whether a behavioral- health need was identified. “Behavioral-health need identified” means the provider administering the screening tool, in his or her professional judgment identifies a child with a potential behavioral health services need. In the future, failure to include a modifier when billing Service Code 96110 will result in denial of the claim.

A community health center may request prior authorization for any medically necessary service reimbursable under the federal Medicaid Act in accordance with 130 CMR 450.144, 42 U.S.C. § 1396d(a)(4)(B), 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 Subchapter 6 of the Community Health Center Manual. The following abbreviations are used in Subchapter 6. (A) P.A. indicates that service-specific prior authorization is required (see 130 CMR 450.303). (B) I.C. indicates that the claim will receive individual consideration to determine payment. A descriptive report must accompany the claim (see 130 CMR 450.271). (C) S.P. indicates that the procedure is commonly performed as part of a total service and does not usually warrant a separate fee. The procedure must be performed separately to receive the separate fee. 602 Radiology Service Codes and Descriptions Service Code Service Description DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY (DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING) HEAD AND

DRUG TESTING The following list contains examples of drugs or classes of drugs that are commonly assayed by qualitative screen, followed by confirmation with a second method. Alcohols Amphetamines Barbiturates Benzodiazepines Cocaine and metabolites Methadones Methaqualones Opiates Phencyclidines Phenothiazines Propoxyphenes Tetrahydrocannabinoids Tricyclic antidepressants Confirmed drugs may also be quantitated. Use 80100 for each multiple drug class chromatographic procedure. Use 80102 for each procedure necessary for confirmation. For chromatography, each combination of stationary and mobile phase is to be counted as one procedure. For example, if detection of three drugs by chromatography requires one stationary phase with three mobile phases, use 80100 three times. However, if multiple drugs can be detected using a single analysis (e.g., one stationary phase with one mobile phase), use 80100 only once.

For immunoassays by single step method (e.g., reagent strips), use code 86318. Procedures for the identification of antibodies should be coded as precisely as possible. For example, an antibody to a virus could be coded with increasing specificity for virus, family, genus, species, or type. In some cases, further precision may be added to codes by specifying the class of immunoglobulin being detected. When multiple tests are done to detect antibodies to organisms classified more precisely than the specificity allowed by available codes, it is appropriate to code each as a separate service. For example, a test for antibody to an enterovirus is coded as 86658. Coxsackieviruses are enteroviruses, but there are no codes for the individual species of enterovirus. If assays are performed for antibodies to coxsackie A and B species, each assay should be separately coded. Similarly, if multiple assays are performed for antibodies of different immunoglobulin classes, each assay should be coded separately.
