Chapter 22-A53. TREATMENT PLANNING SERVICES PROVIDED TO DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSUMERS IN INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS - DESCRIPTION AND REIMBURSEMENT |
Section 22-A5300. PURPOSE
-
5300.1This chapter establishes the reimbursement rates for the treatment planning and supportive treatment services provided by certified Mental Health Rehabilitation Services (MHRS) providers to Department of Behavioral Health (Department) consumers while the consumer is in an institutional setting. Establishment of these reimbursement rates will allow the Department to reimburse providers using non-Medicaid local funds for continuity of care services, discharge treatment planning and transitional services while the consumer is in an institutional setting.
5300.2Institutional settings in which these services shall be provided and may be reimbursed pursuant to this rule include: an Institute for Mental Disease (IMD); a hospital; a nursing facility (nursing home or skilled nursing facility); a rehabilitation center; a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF); a Residential Treatment Center (RTC); or a correctional facility for defendants or juveniles.
5300.3Nothing in this chapter grants to an MHRS provider the right to reimbursement for costs of providing services to a consumer in an institutional setting. Eligibility for reimbursement for these services provided by an MHRS provider to a consumer in one of the institutional settings listed in Subsection 5300.2 is determined solely by the Human Care Agreement (HCA) contract between the Department and the MHRS provider and is subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Claims for reimbursement pursuant to this chapter must be submitted in accordance with the Department billing policy.
