Two Webinars Offered About Modification to Medicaid Visits Per Year

Two webinars are being offered about modifications to Medicaid visits per year. Please see details below.

Webinar: Modification to visits for Medicaid beneficiaries by physicians, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, physician assistants, clinics and health departments
 
Topic: Modification to visits allowed per Medicaid recipient per fiscal year for professional services provided by physicians, nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, physician assistants, clinics and health departments due to Session Law 2013-360.
 
Dates: (the same information will be discussed in both webinars)
Thursday, December 12, 2013 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Monday, December 16, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
 
Two webinars will be held to discuss the differences in legislation defining visit limits in Session Law 2007 and Session Law 2013:
1- Session law 2007-326- reimbursement for visits per recipient per fiscal year
2- Session law 2013-360- requirement for prior authorization for visits in excess of 10 within a year. This limitation and prior authorization requirement does not apply to chronic conditions.
 
Input is needed from stakeholders as a result of Session Law 2013-360 to assist with:
• Defining chronic conditions
• Defining visit limit by adding Prior Approval process
• Defining what circumstances would allow Prior Approval if not chronic conditions
