Target Case Management Tiered Billing

ahawker 8 years ago in Billing/Electronic Modules updated by Kari Droubie 8 years ago 1

Looking for some advice on how to track client contact in order to bill target case management tiered billing system. Does anyone currently use this billing system for their TCM program? This system allows you to bill at a higher rate as long as you have a certain amount of client contact. If you have billing system you are willing to share let me know. For audit purpose we will need to be able to document the client contact(clinical note and or time add??)

Z-codes- are some billable?

The ICD10Data.com site says this about the bereavement Z-code;

  • Z63.4 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes
  • That makes me think I CAN bill it. The client's Mental Health benefit detail link(BCBS,Availity) says that marriage counseling(another Z-code) is NOT covered but doesn't mention bereavement counseling.
  • Is there some unwritten rule about Z-codes that I don't know about?

Medica Billing

mxiong 8 years ago in Billing/Electronic Modules updated by Teri 7 years ago 1

ome providers are having issues with billing Medica for mental health and chemical dependency claims since January of 2016 (change went into effect). Can anyone advise me on how they are billing these claims? Medica is requesting all residential billing be billed on a monthly basis and if a client misses one day (hospital, etc.) then the provider will need to bill that day(s) as a Leave of Absence (LOA). Has anyone billed this way? If so, could you provide some guidance regarding what revenue code you are using and what fields of the UB-04 form you are filling out to complete this claim? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

ARMHS Billing Question

John-Debbie Trunk 8 years ago in Billing/Electronic Modules updated by anonymous 7 years ago 3

Hi Community,


I'm hoping someone out in the community has an answer to this question.


If an ARMHS client has Medicare as their primary insurance payer and PMAP/MA as their secondary payer and is seeing a NON-Medicare provider, how to we bypass Medicare and bill the PMAP plan or the MA plan as the primary insurance plan? Do we need a modifier to do so?If a modifier is required, what is the modifier code used bypassing Medicare, billing PMAP/MA as the primary payer.


I'm advised we should bill Medicare first and get the denial then send the claim to the secondary plan, PMAP/MA.


Does anyone have experience with this? I'd love to hear from someone. Thank you for your time.

Exposure Therapy

Tanya Leither 8 years ago in Billing/Electronic Modules updated 8 years ago 1

We have a therapist who wants to provide Exposure Therapy but we've never billed this before. Are there any pitfalls, tricks or do you find insurances won't pay for it?


Also, she wants 1-1/2 hour sessions - since there's not a code for this unless it's a crisis what code(s) work?

Thanks - any assistance would be appreciated! Kay

CTSS UA Modifier Questions

Kim Ross 8 years ago in Billing/Electronic Modules updated by MKluender 8 years ago 1

We're newly CTSS certified and trying to determine how to use the UA modifier on under 18 clients who have MA/MAPMAP's. For those of you already CTSS certified, if you have the UA modifier set to attach automatically when you select CTSS in the client/payer/enrollment module, does it attach for ALL services and get reimbursed? When did you begin using the UA modifier?
