Mental Health modifers

<< < (2/2)

PMRNC:
I have.. it's relatively new with EMPIRE and also UBH now..as recent as maybe July/August.

Michele:
How do they justify paying the same amount for 45 minutes and 60 minutes?

Christy:
Empire BCBS - it's been at least 3 years that 90834 and 90837 pay at the same rate (for LCSWs & LMHCs)= $80

also MVP and NYSHIP via Value Options (now called Beacon Health Options) pay the same for 90834 and 90837-   MVP- $60 and NYSHIP $67  (LCSW & LMHC)

Michele:
We have some carriers that will not reimburse for the 90837 but we haven't seen the same allowables.  I will have to check some eobs to verify.  I don't handle them day to day anymore.
