1 Section 35Psychologist Enrollment STAR and STAR+PLUS Program Enrollment Reimbursement Benefits and Limitations Psychological and Neuropsychological Testing Therapy Documentation Required Claims Information Claim Filing Resources
2 Section Enrollment To enroll in the Texas Medicaid Program, a psychologist practicing independently must be licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists and be enrolled as a Medicare provider. TMHP may waive the Medicare enrollment prerequisite for psychologists whose type of practice and service is pediatric-based and who will never bill to Medicare. A psychologist cannot be enrolled if his license is due to expire within 30 days. A current license must be submitted. Refer to: Provider Enrollment on page 2-2 for more information about enrollment procedures STAR and STAR+PLUS Program Enrollment Certain providers may be required to enroll with each STAR and STAR+PLUS health plan to be reimbursed for services provided to STAR and STAR+PLUS members. Contact the individual health plan for enrollment information. If the psychologist practices in the Dallas service area, he must be enrolled as a network provider in the NorthSTAR Behavioral Health Organization s (BHOs) network to provide services to NorthSTAR enrollees. Important: NorthSTAR is a pilot managed care program in the Dallas service area that covers behavioral health services. Providers must not bill TMHP for services rendered to NorthSTAR clients Reimbursement The Medicaid rates for psychologists are calculated in accordance with 1 TAC and The applicable Medicaid rates are listed in the 2004 Physician Fee Schedule (PRCR402C.xls), which is available on the TMHP website. A federally qualified health center (FQHC) is reimbursed according to its specific prospective payment System (PPS) rate per visit for psychological services Benefits and Limitations Psychologists licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists and enrolled as Medicaid providers are authorized to perform counseling and testing for mental illness/debility. Treatment does not include the practice of medicine. Outpatient behavioral health services by a psychologist, for clients 21 years of age and older, are not a benefit of the Texas Medicaid Program, unless performed in an FQHC setting. Services will continue to be reimbursed for THSteps-eligible clients younger than 21 years of age. Psychologists must not bill for services performed by people under their supervision. For mental health services, only the provider actually performing the service may bill Medicaid. The services of a psychological associate (masters level psychologists), social worker, psychiatric nurse, or mental health worker are not covered by the Texas Medicaid Program and cannot be billed under a psychologist s TPI. Services provided by a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), licensed professional counselor (LPC), or licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) are reimbursable directly to the LCSW, LPC, or LMFT. Outpatient mental health services are limited to 30 encounters per client, per calendar year (January 1 through December 31), regardless of provider unless prior authorization is obtained. This limitation includes encounters by all providers. An encounter is defined as each hour of therapy, psychological, and/or neuropsychological testing rendered per hour, per provider. Each Medicaid client is limited to 30 encounters per calendar year (January 1 through December 31). Laboratory, radiology, and medication monitoring services do not count toward the 30-encounter limitation. If a provider determines that additional services are medically necessary within the calendar year, prior authorization must be obtained before providing the 25th service. It is anticipated that this limitation, which allows for six months of weekly therapy or 12 months of biweekly therapy, will be adequate for 75 to 80 percent of clients. Clinicians should plan therapy with this limit in mind. However, it may be medically necessary for some clients to receive extended visits. In these situations, prior authorization is required. A provider who sees a client regularly and anticipates that the client will require visits beyond the 30-visit limit must submit the request for prior authorization before the client s 25th visit. It is recognized that a client may change providers in the middle of the year, and the new provider may not be able to obtain complete information on the client. In these instances, prior authorization may be made when the request is accompanied by an explanation as to why the provider was unable to submit the prior authorization request by the client s 25th visit and before rendering services. All authorization requests for extension of outpatient psychotherapy sessions beyond the annual 30-encounter limitation are limited to 10 visits/encounters per request, and must be submitted on the Extended Outpatient/ Counseling Request Form. Requests must include the following: Client name and Medicaid number Provider name and TPI Clinical update, including current symptoms and response to past treatment, and treatment plan (length of treatment, type of therapy, and frequency of visits) Prior authorization is not granted to providers who have seen a client for an extended period of time or from the start of the calendar year and who have not requested prior authorization before the 25th visit. It is recommended that a request for extension of outpatient behavioral health be submitted no sooner than 30 days before the date of service being requested, so that the most current information is provided. 35 2
3 Psychologist The number of visits authorized is dependent on the client s symptoms and response to past treatment. If the client requires additional extensions, the provider must submit a new request for prior authorization at the end of each extension period. The request for additional visits must include new documentation addressing the client s current condition, treatment plan, and the therapist s rationale supporting the medical necessity for these additional visits. Prior authorization for an extension of outpatient behavioral health services is granted when the treatment is mandated by the courts for court-ordered admissions. A copy of the court document must accompany prior authorization requests. Mail or fax the request to the following address: Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership Special Medical Prior Authorization B Riata Trace Parkway Austin, TX fax Medicaid does not cover treatment for chronic diagnoses such as mental retardation and organic brain syndrome. Psychiatric daycare is not a covered service. Refer to: Reimbursement Methodology on page 3-2 for more information about reimbursement methodologies. Managed Care on page G-1. Request for Extended Outpatient Psychotherapy/Counseling Form on page D-72.

Each hour of therapy, psychological, and/or neuropsychological testing will count toward the 30 visits/encounters limit. Providers must maintain documentation of medical necessity for testing in the client s chart. Greater than four hours of psychological testing and neuropsychological testing battery will be cut back to a quantity of four when the medical necessity cannot be established. To document medical necessity, submit a record of all tests performed, and a complete history reflecting the need for each test. Procedure codes , Psychological testing, and , Neuropsych test battery, include the testing, interpretation, and report, and will not be reimbursed separately. Procedure code , Psychological testing, will be limited to eight hours of testing per client, per calendar year, any provider.

4 Section 35 Procedure code , Neuropsych test battery, will be limited to eight hours per client, per calendar year, any provider.
