[PC-BH-Integration] networking-billing codes used

[Bill Rosenfeld]

The attached letters display the recognized providers under the
reimbursement mandate of BH service provision in FQHC's.  It is my
opinion that an Associate would not be eligible for reimbursement
through your SMA, although your state might interpret the HRSA PIN
differently from ours (AZ).  

 

I feel that it is important to promote three points when deliberating
with our SMA's about reimbursement of integrated BH programs:

 

            1.  Reimbursement regardless of capitation rates

            2.  Same day service as medical providers should be
reimbursed.

            3.  Reimbursement regardless of RBHA affiliation 

 

Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have regarding our
experiences with IBH...& best wishes for you and your organization to
have a thriving program.

Subject: [PC-BH-Integration] networking-billing codes used

 

Hello everyone,

 

I have just joined this network and hope to get some good information so
that I can ensure that my program is as successful as possible with the
assistance of all of you.  

 

We are an FQHC and started our Integrated Behavioral Health Program
about three years ago.  Recently there have some questions around
billing and the staff that I have currently working.  As you can imagine
it is difficult to fill positions with Psychologists or LCSWs, and thus
would like to ask if anyone from an FQHC has hired Licensed Clinical
Social Worker Associates and if so, are there any specific billing
issues.

 

Thank you in advance for any feedback on this subject.

 

Cesar Velasquez, LCSW

Behavioral Health Coordinator

Darin M. Camarena Health Centers, Inc.
