Appendix B of the Reimbursement Policies and Procedures Manual has been established to file memoranda issued by Central Reimbursement throughout the year, and each memo will be assigned a number.  These memos will also be available on the intranet.  Please do not hesitate to contact anyone in Central Reimbursement if you have any questions.

 

 

Case Management/Medicaid Billing Monthly Verification

 

 

Beginning with March 1, 2004 dates of service, clinics will be required to generate reports in CMHC that detail monthly billing for Mental Health Case Management, and submit a list of consumers who were Medicaid eligible during the month but were not billed to Medicaid.  This list will be submitted each month to the Division Director and Central Reimbursement.

 

Central Reimbursement will e-mail clinical managers and support staff as notification each month that the case management billing has been completed.  Clinic staff will then generate reports in CMHC summarizing Mental Health Case Management billing for their clinic.  Support staff will generate three reports for their respective clinics:  (1) Saved list of consumers who received billable case management activity during the month; (2) Report of Medicaid billing for case management for the month; (3) Report of self-pay billing for case management for the month

 

The reports will be generated from a menu item in CMHC, and detailed instructions for generating these reports are attached.  Once the reports are generated, they should be compared to a master list of Case Management consumers maintained at each clinic to determine which Medicaid consumers were not billed for the month.  Those consumers should then be listed on the MH Case Management Monthly Follow-up spreadsheet with an explanation of why no billing occurred, and submitted via e-mail to the Division Director and Central Reimbursement.

 

Attached to this Reimbursement Memo are the following:

MH Case Management Monthly Follow-Up Worksheet (See Appendix A)
