: NYS Medicaid 2016 Fee Schedule?
: Christy January 10, 2017, 08:29:44 PM

does anyone have a copy or link to the 2016 Medicaid Fee schedule?

I can only find 2017.

I am specifically looking for rates for BH codes:

90791
90837
90834
90847
90846
90853

I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could help.  :)

thank you

I do not believe the fee schedule has changed so 2016 & 2017 are the same.  https://www.emedny.org/ProviderManuals/ClinicalPsych/PDFS/Clinical_Psychology_Fee_Schedule.pdf

thank you!

now that one is different than this one (the one I found for 2017)

https://www.emedny.org/ProviderManuals/Physician/

if you go down to:

Procedure Codes & Fee Schedules

 Primary Care Rate Increase (PCRI) Fee Schedule   Last updated on 1/1/2014
 Fee Schedules: Medicine

that fee schedule opens into an excel file and the codes there show much higher rates.  any thoughts on that?

Since the codes you listed were mental health I went to the provider manual for psychologists and got the fee schedule from there.  The one you are looking at is the physician's fee schedule.  I think it will depend on the credentials of the provider that you are billing for.

ok, I thought maybe that was the case.  thank you!  yes, I am looking for LCSW which of course isn't covered by Medicaid.  I am in a fight with Beacon over the Beacon rates vs Medicaid rates.

Beacon was paying $60 for 90834 for years. Now they are threatening one of my LCSWs that they are going to recoup past payments down to the Medicaid rate.   >:(

thank you!

Wow!  Is it for a Medicaid replacement plan?  We bill for several LCSWs that see Beacon Patients as well.  Seems unfair that they can go back but I've seen it before.  Keep us posted!

yes, Medicaid replacement plan and I believe Beacon is in error.
