Behavioral Health authorization process

5

Behavioral Health authorization process Behavioral Health program goals • Right care, right place, right time services • Reduce inappropriate admissions and readmissions • Provide integrated, seamless delivery of physical and behavioral health services • Disease management of chronic conditions often involving physical health, behavioral health and substance use disorder comorbidities • National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) accreditation • HEDIS® and other quality measure attainment *HEDIS is a registered trademark of the NCQA.

6

Behavioral Health authorization process Two distinct authorization processes, based upon the type of care requested • Telephonic review – Initial and concurrent review of inpatient admissions and other higher levels of care – Contact the Utilization Management department, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for authorization at 1-855-661-2028 • Form review – Inpatient and all other levels of care – Completion of the required forms submitted via fax (inpt: 1-877-434-7578; outpt: 1-800-505-1193) or web portal 7

Behavioral Health authorization process Clinical review • Clinical intake team performs initial reviews for acute care via live calls or form review – Gives opportunity to discuss/review more appropriate level of care when criteria for inpatients are not met – Begins discussion of treatment and discharge planning, coordination of care needs and readmission issues 8

Behavioral Health authorization process • Concurrent reviewers or outpatient care managers review subsequent care or outpatient services – How reasons for admission are being addressed – If readmission, what is being done differently – Progress in treatment per treatment guidelines – Discharge planning and barriers to discharge – Discharge follow-up appointment within seven days – Coordination of care issues/needs – Family/support system and outpatient provider involvement in treatment 9

Does the service require authorization? A number of services always require authorization, including inpatient, residential, partial hospital, intensive outpatient, psych and neuropsychological testing. If you are not sure, you can use the Precertification Lookup Tool to determine authorization requirements: https://mediproviders.anthem.com/ky/pages/ precert.aspx 10

Behavioral Health billing guidance

52

Objectives • Define medical coding • What is HIPAA compliance and transaction accuracy • Coding tools • Descriptions of coding terminology • Appropriate use of modifiers • Forms required for submission of encounter data (claims) • Behavioral Health specific coding guidelines 53

Medical coding • Medical coding is a system designed to represent and report medical services, procedures and supplies supported in the medical documentation to appropriately define medical necessity of such services rendered. • Coding is an integral step in the reimbursement process. • Coding is instrumental to the mortality (death) and morbidity (disease) statistics maintained internationally. • There are formalized rules and regulations set forth by the governing agencies for coding standards and requirements.

54

HIPAA • Developed to combat waste, fraud and abuse in the health care delivery systems. • Required all covered entities to comply with electronic transactions (837) and code set provisions. • Transferrable language to describe services performed.

55

Coding tools • Current procedural terminology (CPT) American Medical Association (AMA) • Health Care Common Procedure Coding System Level II (HCPCS) CMS • International Classification of Diseases 9th edition Clinical Modifications (ICD-9-CM) WHO until October 1, 2015 • Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) APA until October 1, 2015 56

CPT • Category I is divided into six sections; two of which are most utilized in your profession • Published by AMA • Codes are five digit numeric • Updated once yearly (rarely twice) • Laboratory (80300-80299) • Evaluation and management (E/M) (9920199499) • Medicine/psychiatry (90785-90911) 57

Evaluation and management

(99201-99499)

New vs. established patient • New patient is one who has not received any professional services from any practitioner of the exact same specialty and subspecialty that belong to the same group practice within the past three year period. • Established patient has received professional services from the physician or any physician in the exact same specialty and subspecialty group practice. 58

Evaluation and management • •





(99201-99499)

Location distinctions Office or outpatient setting (physician office or an outpatient or ambulatory facility) – 99201-99215 – 99241-99245 Consultation – 99281-99288 Emergency Room Services Hospital observation services (used when the patient is designated/admitted for the purpose of observation; doesn’t have to be in area designated as “OBSERVATION”) – 99217-99220 – 99231-99236* (two categories) Hospital inpatient services (services provided in a hospital or “partial” hospital setting) – 99221-99239 Initial, subsequent, discharge – 99251-99255 Consultations 59

Evaluation and management

(99201-99499)

There are seven components; six of which are used to define the code for the service rendered. 1. History (PFSH) 2. Examination (ROS) 3. Medical decision making (MDM) 4. Counseling 5. Coordination of care 6. Nature of presenting problem 7. Time 60

Laboratory (80300-80377) 2015 AMA implemented new section in CPT to identify therapeutic drug assay, drug assay and chemistry. • Therapeutic – Performed to monitor clinical response to known prescription medication (80150-80299). • Presumptive – Identifies possible use or nonuse of a drug or drug class (80300-80304). • Definitive – Qualitative or quantitative test to identify specific drugs and associated metabolites (80320-80377). 61

Laboratory (80300-80377) • When codes are billed separately, they are considered unbundled and will be rebundled through our code editing system. • Subject to National Correct Coding Initiatives (NCCI) Medically Unlikely Edits (MUE). • Technical and professional components may be applicable for these procedures to submit charges for the portion of the service performed. 62

Medicine/psychiatry (+90785-90899) • Interactive complexity (+90785) — Communications factors that complicate the delivery of a psychiatric procedure. • Diagnostic procedures (90791-90792) — Biopsychosocial assessment including history, mental status and recommendations. • Psychotherapy (90832-90838) — Treatment of mental illness and behavioral disturbances through definitive therapeutic communications — Face to face services with patient and/or family members — Patient must be present for some or all of the services — Medical evaluation and management services may be performed, but time spent on the E/M is not included in treatment time 63

Medicine/psychiatry (+90785-90899) • Crisis therapy (90839-+90840) — Presenting problem is life threatening or complex, requiring immediate attention — Includes mobilization of resources to defuse the crisis — Codes used to report total face-to-face time providing psychotherapy for crisis

64

Medicine/psychiatry (+90863) Pharmacologic management • Includes prescribing and review of medication • List separately in addition to the primary procedure • Created for medication management when provided on the same day as psychotherapy • Utilized by qualified health professionals who may not report E/M codes, but may prescribe

65

Time elements • Units for time element codes are only reported once the treatment has reached a midpoint • Psychotherapy has a 30-minute timeframe (16-37 minutes) – Must be 16 minutes or more of face-to-face with patient and/or family – Time elements used to meet the time criteria for an E/M is not included – Counseling and coordination of care is not included in the time element for psychotherapy • Psychotherapy has a 45-minute timeframe (38-52 minutes) – Must be 38 minutes or more of face-to-face with the patient and/or family • Psychotherapy has a 60-minute timeframe (53+minutes) – Include face-to-face with patient and/or family 66

Modifiers

67

Modifiers Modifiers are mainly used when • Procedure or service is performed more than once or by more than one provider • Procedure or service was increased or reduced due to patient circumstances • Only a portion was completed or there are separate components for that particular code set • Unusual difficulties • Two or more modifiers may be used to append or detail a particular procedure or service

• H0001-H2037 Alcohol and drug abuse treatment services codes were developed for state Medicaid agencies to identify mandated mental health services that included: — H0031 Mental Health Assessments; nonphysician — H2021 Community Based Wrap Around Service • T1000-T9999 Designed for Medicaid state agencies which describes nursing and home health related services, substance abuse treatment and certain training related procedures 75

ICD-9-CM • Developed to describe the circumstance of a patient’s condition. • Currently the national standard coding language used to define a patient’s condition, diagnosis, disease, injury, anomaly or any other reason for a medical service, procedure or supply. • Revisions are made annually and published in early spring to become effective October 1 by the AHA. • Codes must be used for all services performed on or after the effective date. Providers and payers must keep up with changes and accept/code appropriately. 76

ICD-9-CM • Diagnosis codes identify and justify the medical necessity of services • List first the primary diagnosis, condition, problem or reason for the medical service or procedure (chief complaint) — Assign a ICD-9-CM diagnosis code to the highest level of specificity using the appropriate fourth or fifth digit — Distinguish between acute and chronic conditions — Chronic complaints or secondary diagnoses are coded only when treatment is provided for that condition — Be as specific in describing the condition or illness of the patient as possible

77

ICD-9-CM • There are three volumes to the ICD-9-CM — Volume 1 contains the tabular list of disease (arranged numerically); there are nineteen chapters established by etiology or body system — Volume 2 contains the alphabetic index of diseases — Volume 3 contains both an alphabetic index to procedures and surgical procedures used by facilities • ICD-9-CM were designed for claims and benefit administration to be expedited and consistent for reimbursement consideration.

78

ICD-9-CM • Volume 1 — Contains the tabular list of disease (arranged numerically); there are nineteen chapters established by etiology or body system (001-999.9) — There are two supplementary classifications — V codes (V01-V84) are supplementary classifications of factors influencing health status and contact with health services — E codes (E800-E999) explain the condition under which a diagnosis happened (occurred)

79

ICD-9-CM • Define the reason chiefly responsible for the service provided • Identify any causes or conditions that affect the treatment of the primary condition • Tell the story as completely as possible; code to the highest level of specificity • Complete with codes that help describe events or reason appropriately with V and E codes • Improved medical record documentation

80

ICD-10-CM • The 10th revision of morbidity coding • WHO maintains the history behind and implementation of changes • Exceeds its predecessor in the number of concepts and codes (extends from 17,000 ICD-9-CM to 90,000 ICD-10-CM) • Incorporates greater clinical detail and specificity than ICD-9-CM and has been updated to be consistent with current clinical practice 81

ICD-9-CM vs. ICD-10-CM The difference ICD-9-CM

ICD-10-CM

• • •

• • •

• • • • •



3-5 characters in length Approximately 14,000 codes First digit may be alpha (E or V) or numeric; digits 2-5 are numeric Limited space for adding new codes Lacks detail Lacks laterality Difficult to analyze data due to nonspecific codes Codes are nonspecific and do not adequately define diagnoses needed for medical research Does not support interoperability because it is not used by other countries

• • • • • •

3-7 characters in length Approximately 68,000 available codes Digit one is alpha; digits 2-7 are alpha or numeric Flexible for adding new codes Very specific Has laterality Specificity improves coding accuracy and richness of data for analysis Detail improves the accuracy of data used for medical research Supports interoperability and the exchange of health data between other countries and the United States

NCCI • •

Federally mandated to promote national correct coding methodologies and control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment Based on coding policies defined by AMA CPT manual, national societies, national and local policies

Two types of NCCI edits 1. Procedure-to-procedure edits implemented January 1, 1996 a. Are assigned to either the column one/column two correct coding edit files b. Applies to: i. Physicians/practitioners ii. Outpatient hospital services iii. Durable medical supplies 2. MUE implemented January 1, 2007 a. A maximum unit of service that a provider would report under most circumstances for a single beneficiary on a single date of service for HCPCS/CPT code b. Not all HCPCS/CPT procedures have a MUE c. Applies to: i. Physician/practitioners ii. Outpatient hospital services iii. Durable medical supplies 92

iHealth • A health care analytics company contracted to assist us in identifying inappropriately paid claims. • Provides prepayment solution in a real-time environment through a Facets interface. ® • Similar and an addition to McKesson’s ClaimCheck with added functionality and flexibility. • To be employed as a “final filter” before professional and outpatient facility claims are paid – same as ClaimCheck. • Implemented November 1, 2013 • EX Codes i00 – i81

94

What is the key difference? ClaimCheck audits the claim from the provider’s point of view • Same member, same provider, same DOS • Limited use of time span or provider groupings/specialty • PAM can be configured more broadly – resources consuming

iHealth reviews claims from the member’s point of view • What services could’ve been done across providers for this member (takes modifiers and specialty into consideration) • How often can this service be provided • Looks across providers and time span

95

Conclusion Medical coding is based on the foundations of three areas: • Current procedural terminology (CPT) • Health Care Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) • International Classification of Diseases 9th edition Clinical Modifications (ICD-9-CM) (ICD-10 effective October 1, 2015) Working together, much like a sentence, to provide an effective and efficient mechanism to reimburse providers for services and procedures performed. 96

Claim scenarios

97

Coding example • Member presented with concerns about his ability to return to work and face his coworkers – Nature of the presenting problem was documented • Established patient • Problem focused • Problem focused examination • Low complexity medical decision making – Time spent in therapy was 25 minutes

98

Example II A 15-year-old being treated for depression and alcohol abuse and on an antidepressant and an inhaler for asthma presented today with both divorced parents who disagree over how to address the patient’s recent alcohol binge. Concern over boarding school or following treatment plan. Nature of presenting problem: • Interval history obtained from parents and patient; this included details of recent alcohol use along with exploration of other drug use, medication compliance, side effects and beneficial effects • Suicide risk explored • Psychiatric specialty exam is completed and decision on medication (50 minutes) • Patient focuses on feelings of embarrassment of new rules in father’s home and encounter which he was drunk in front of her friends • Parents increasingly argue with each other over the treatment recommended by the psychiatrist 99
