NCCI Changes to Preventive Care/Immunization Administration Billing Effective January 2014
Effective January 2014, there are changes to CMS's National Correct Coding Initiative
(NCCI) billing guidance: Providers are directed to the Louisiana Medicaid homepage,
(www.lamedicaid.com/) for details on new CMS directives
when billing for preventive care and immunization administration codes on the same date of service.
ATTENTION PROVIDERS: DEADLINE EXTENSION FOR AFFORDABLE CARE ACT ENHANCED REIMBURSEMENT
DHH has extended the deadline to submit a Medicaid Primary Care Services Designated Physician form and
receive an effective date for enhanced reimbursement retrospective to January 1, 2013. In previous
guidance, the deadline was June 28, 2013. The final deadline is now December 31, 2013. If your
complete and correct form is received after December 31, 2013, you will receive enhanced reimbursement
for eligible services rendered on or after the date the form is received.
For more information on the enhanced reimbursement, see the "ATTENTION PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS:
Affordable Care Act Enhanced Reimbursement of Primary Care Services Informational Bulletin" posted
on www.lamedicaid.com.
Allergy Testing Update
The daily maximum units for billing allergy testing (CPT code 95017-'Allergy testing...with
venoms...specify number of tests') has been updated to 30 in the legacy Medicaid claims
processing system. This update is intended to accommodate variances in clinically appropriate
and medically necessary testing. This change is effective for dates of service beginning
January 1, 2013. Providers whose claims were processed by Molina and were denied due to
the previous 15 unit daily limit may resubmit those claims.
For questions related to this update contact Molina Medicaid Solutions Provider Services at
(800) 473-2783 or (225) 924-5040.
