5 7010. TBI COGNITIVE THERAPY SPECIFIC BILLING INFORMATION Updated 05/07 Enter procedure code (TBI Cognitive Therapy) in field 24D of the HCFA-1500 CMS-1500 claim form. One unit = fifteen minutes Client Obligation: If a case manager has assigned client obligation to a particular provider and informed that provider that they are to collect this portion of the cost of service from the client, the provider will not reduce the billed amount on the claim by the client obligation because the liability will automatically be deducted as claims are processed. Overlapping Dates of Service: The dates of service on the claim must match the dates approved on the plan of care and cannot overlap Example: An electronic Plan of Care has two detail lines items: the first line ends on the 15th of the month and the second line begins on the 16th with and increase of units. A claim with a line item for services dated 8th thru 16th, will deny because it conflicts with the dates that have been approved on the electronic Plan of Care. At this time the claims system is not able to read two different lines on the Plan of Care for one line on a claim. For the first detail line item listed above (up to the 15th of the month), any service dates that fall between the 1st and the 15th of that month, will be accepted by the system and not deny because of a conflict in the dates of service. Services for multiple months should be separated out and each month submitted on a separate claim. Same Day Service: For certain situations, HCBS services approved on a plan of care and provided the same time a consumer is hospitalized or in a nursing facility may be allowed.

6 BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS MEDICAID Updated 9/04 Home and community based waiver services for persons with a traumatically acquired brain injury are designed to prevent individuals from entering or remaining in a head injury rehabilitation facility(hirf). Limitations: HCBS/TBI services are available to individuals who are Medicaid-eligible and meet the criteria for institutionalization in a HIRF. The eligible individual must meet the following qualifications: Be a Kansas resident upon receiving services, and for the duration of services. Have been diagnosed with external, traumatically acquired non-degenerative, structural brain injury resulting in residual deficits and disability. Trauma is defined as a physical injury caused by external force or violence. All beneficiaries will be diagnosed as having closed brain injury. Examples of situations where the brain injury may have occurred include: a. Blow to the head b. Motor vehicular accident c. Fall to the ground d. Physical abuse e. Coup/Contre-Coup injuries An individual must be at least 16 years of age but less than 65 years of age to receive HCBS/TBI waiver services. However, if a person is receiving waiver services at age 55 and is still showing progress in their rehabilitation, special consideration may be given by the TBI Program Manager for them to remain on the waiver past the age of 65 until a time when they no longer significantly benefit from Transitional Living Skills and Rehabilitation Therapies. If the consumer will be age 16 by the time services are due to begin, the assessment may be completed prior to age 16. If a consumer is 64 years of age at the time of the assessment, they must begin services before the age of 65 to be eligible. Requires restorative/rehabilitation, treatment, or care, Requires restorative/rehabilitation, social activity, and dietary services which are restorative and rehabilitative, May require supervision for safety. Rehabilitation services under the Kansas State Plan for Medicaid funding are not covered after the sixth month following the date of the first treatment following a physical debilitation resulting from acute physical trauma. Since many consumers with brain injury continue to require these services well beyond the seventh month post injury and these therapies will be necessary to maintain skills that were learned, they are included in the waiver.

8 8400 Updated 9/04 Signature Limitations In all situations the expectation is that the consumer provides oversight and accountability for people providing services for them. Signature options are provided in recognition that a consumer's limitations make it necessary that they be assisted in carrying out this function. A designated signatory may be anyone who is aware services were provided. The individual providing the services cannot sign the timesheet on behalf of the consumer.

The approved signing options include: 1. Consumer's signature, 2. Consumer making a distinct mark representing their signature, 3. Consumer using their signature stamp or, 4. Designated signatory. In situations where there is no one to serve as designated signatory the billing provider establishes, documents and monitors a plan based on the first three concepts above. Consumers that refused to sign accurate time sheets when there is no legitimate reason, should be advised that the attendants time may not be paid or money may be taken back. Time sheets that do not reflect time and services accurately should not be signed. Unsigned timesheets are a matter for the billing provider to address. Provider Requirements: Cognitive therapy must be provided by individuals licensed by the Behavior Sciences Regulatory Board, or individuals who have a Masters Degree in a behavioral science field, e.g., psychologists, social workers, counselors, who have had 8 hours of training or one year experience with individuals with brain injuries.
