1 Reimbursement Rate Changes for Anesthesiologists, CRNAs and/or AAs Effective for Dates of Service on or After Nov. 1, 2017 Information posted Oct. 25, 2017 Note: Texas Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) must provide all medically necessary, Medicaid-covered services to eligible clients. Administrative procedures such as prior authorization, pre-certification, referrals, and claims/encounter data filing may differ from traditional Medicaid (fee-for-service) and from MCO to MCO. Providers should contact the client's specific MCO for details. The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has reviewed and evaluated the reimbursement methodology and payment rates for Texas Medicaid anesthesiology supervision as directed by the General Appropriations Act, S.B. 1, 85th Legislature, Regular Session, 2017 [Article II, HHSC, Rider 223], and presented the proposed changes at the public rate hearing held on Sept. 20, Effective for dates of service on or after Nov. 1, 2017, rate changes will be implemented based on specific modifiers, conversion factors and set rates billed by the following: Chart 1: Anesthesia modifier combinations submitted by anesthesia providers Provider Anesthesiologist** Anesthesiologist supervising one CRNA/AA Anesthesiologist supervising two, three, or four CRNA/AAs Anesthesiologist supervising five or more CRNA/AAs Supervised CRNA or AA CRNA directed by a physician** Modifiers AA plus U1 QY plus U1 or QY plus U2 QK plus U1 or QK plus U2 AD plus U1 or AD plus U2 QX plus U2 QZ plus U1 **Important: Medical services solely performed by an anesthesiologist (modifier AA plus U1) will continue to receive 100 percent of the calculated rate while a CRNA (modifier QZ plus U1) who is supervised by a physician will continue to receive 92 percent of the calculated rate. Two adjustments are being implemented: 1. Conversion factors and set rates for anesthesia services for children and adults will be increased. 2. Reimbursement percentages for supervised services will be decreased. Note: The dental anesthesia conversion factor for adults and children is not changing. Conversion Factor and Set Rate Increases The conversion factors and set rates for anesthesia services will be increased for supervised services. The non-obstetrics and obstetrics conversion factors for anesthesia services will be combined into one conversion factor for children and one for adults.
