I have claims for PsychCare in Florida and they tell me that the client has an MMA plan. I don't know what that means. Also that to bill for mental health we would have to use H and T codes. According to my code book H codes are for services for Alcohol and Drug screening and treatment. The H code for regular mental health session- perhaps- H0004? A 15 minute code? or H0031 for Mental Health assessment by non-physician? No time assigned.
T codes do not seem to apply to regular out patient mental health.
Does anyone have experience billing PsychCare in Florida with these codes?
Thanks for any help.

... they tell me that the client has an MMA plan. I don't know what that means.
It is amazing what one can learn by searching Google on unfamiliar terms. You might keep this in mind as you encounter unfamiliar terms. I Googled on "mma plan" (quotes included) and received a page-full of links. These links might tell you what you want to know.
MMA probably = Managed Medical Assistance

I also Googled on "H and T codes" and received a page-full of links. These two can get you started:
http://www.sprc.org/sites/sprc.org/files/tipsandstrategiesforbilling.pdf
http://www.councilofcollaboratives.org/files/Ex_States_Billing_Codes_public_MH_Services.pdf
From Page 2 of the first link and Page 5 of the second link:
There are three levels of HCPCS codes, two of which are relevant to mental health billing.
Both Medicaid and Medicare use some of both Level I and Level II (see below) which can be
confusing. Medicare more often uses Level 1 codes while Medicaid more often uses Level II
codes.
Level II HCPCS codes beginning with letters A through V are national codes; however, there are certain codes that Medicare does not pay for, such as the H and T ( Mental Health and Substance Abuse codes); however, most Medicaid programs do allow many H and T codes.
