How would you bill a 2 hour session with one provider and then bill another hour of resourcing with a different provider?

Has anyone in this community taken a coding class or have coders/billers who are well educated in the area of code stacking/billing multiple codes for one DOS with same provider? We have providers who render in home services that last longer than 1 hour and are trying to teach them how to code stack and then trying to figure out the best way to bill them to get them paid. Any help is appreciated!

Has anyone started billing for CTSS tx plans, and if so, are MA and PMAPS paying for them?

Does anyone know what the MA rate is for group skills?

At this time I'm just wondering if anyone is having these denials. We may be asking for help!

Our scenario: Starting in August, after BCBS MN had an update to provider types, we got denials for clients who see our LMFTs and have a BCBS IL plan through their employer. We have started an appeal process over these denials. Now BCBS IL has recouped payments made from Jan to July; we've included a request for re-payment in our appeal.

Thanks, Kay

We are looking at billing for group psychotherapy for the first time, specifically Therapeutic Yoga. Any advice or guidance? Looks like code 90853? What about reimbursements, time? Thanks!

When billing clients that have MA or PMAPs, is there a way in procentive to skip billing Primary once they deny CTSS services?

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??)

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?
