• ICD-10 Updates and FAQs

  The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services established a new set of standards for the electronic exchange of HIPAA transactions between providers and payers. Included in this new set of standards is support for ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes, which provide a better definition of diagnoses and procedures. MVP will provide current news on ICD-10 information to help you move to ICD-10, and information on MVP’s implementation of ICD-10. Please check often for updates.

• Children and Family Treatment and Support Services

  Starting January 1, 2020 MVP will cover more Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS). These services help children and their families improve their health, well-being, and quality of life.

  CFTSS are for children under age 21 with behavioral health needs. These services may be provided at home or in the community. Beginning January 1, 2020, MVP Medicaid Managed Care members under age 21 will be able to access the following services:

  Youth Peer Support and Training

  This benefit is provided by a credentialed Youth Peer Advocate, or Certified Recovery Peer Advocate with a youth focus who has similar experiences. This benefit provides support and assistance with:

  • Developing skills to manage health challenges and be independent,
  • Feeling empowered to make decisions,
  • Making connections to natural supports and resources, and
  • Transitioning to the adult health system when the time is right.

  Crisis Intervention

  This benefit provides professional help at home or in the community when a child or youth is distressed and can’t be helped by family, friends, and other supports. This benefit includes support and help with using crisis plans to de-escalate the crisis to prevent or reduce future crises.

  MVP may already cover these services for certain eligible children under age 21. If a member is currently getting these services, their care will not change.

  Starting October 1, 2019, Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) for Children will only be available to select Medicaid Managed Care (MMC) members.

  Who is eligible for these services?

  Medicaid members under the age of 21, that have behavioral health needs and/or medically complex conditions are eligible to receive services in their own home or community. These services were previously covered under Medicaid fee-for-service for children under Medicaid’s waiver programs.

  How will services be rendered?

  MVP will collaborate with Health Home Care Managers, Children Youth Evaluation Services (CYES), service providers, and caregivers to help members to manage chronic health conditions and improve health outcomes.

  MVP will receive plans of care prior to 10/1/2019 for review. Children in treatment as of 10/1/2019 may continue with their current HCBS care providers for continuity of care. MVP will continue to authorize the most recent plan of care in effect when services are transitioned to MMC. Continuity of care will be in place for the first 24 months of the transition.

  How do I learn more about these and other services?

  MVP has produced training documents for HCBS, Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS), and Children’s Transition information that may be helpful to providers. These are available at mvphealthcare.com/providers/education.

  Starting July 1, 2019, MVP will cover more behavioral health services for children and youth.

  MVP Medicaid Managed Care members under age 21 will be able to access the following services:

  Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), including:

  • Outpatient Clinic (Hospital Based)
  • Rehabilitation Programs (Hospital Based)
  • Opioid Treatment Program Services (Hospital Based)
  • Chemical Dependence Inpatient Rehabilitative Services

  Injections for Behavioral Health Related Conditions

  Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS), including:

  • Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR)
  • Community Psychiatric Supports and Treatment (CPST)
  • Family Peer Support Services
  • Other Licensed Practitioner (OLP)

  Office of Mental Health (OMH) Outpatient Services and Designated Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) Clinic Services
  Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
  Continuing Day Treatment
  Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS)
  Partial Hospitalization
  Psychiatric Services
  Psychological Services
  Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP)       including Extended Observation
  Inpatient Psychiatric Services 

  Who is covered for these services?

  MVP will cover these services for all eligible children and youth under age 21, including those:

  • With Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  • Who have Federal Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) status, or
  • Who have been determined certified disabled by a New York Medical disability review.

  As of January 1, 2019, children with non-Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Medicaid Managed Care (MMC) will have additional coverage so they can take advantage of additional behavioral health treatment and support services for their families.

  These services place strong emphasis on early identification and access to treatment. The intention is to prevent the onset or progression of behavioral health conditions and a need for long-term or more expensive services. Some of these services will allow the child to be treated in the home and other natural, community-based settings where children/youth and their families live. The program will be phased-in over the next 18 months, with the first three services being implemented on January 1, 2019.

  What are the first three services?

  The services that will be effective January 1 include:

  • Other Licensed Practitioner (OLP) – lets children get individual, group, or family therapy where they are most comfortable.
  • Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) – helps children relearn skills to help them in the community.
  • Community Psychiatric Supports and Treatment (CPST) – helps children stay in their home and communicate better with family, friends, and others.

  How are these services being rendered?

  Beacon Health Options has a provider network that are rendering the services listed above. Beacon is also responsible for the administration of claims. MVP will provide Care Management services.
