Electronic Delivery of Medicaid/HUSKY - Re-Enrollment and Other Time Sensitive Communications.
With the COVID pandemic starting in early 2020, some physicians may have missed the two bulletins from the CT Department of Social Services concerning the electronic delivery of the re-enrollment and other communication updates from Medicaid/HUSKY. As such, DSS is moving AWAY from mailing written letters and other time sensitive notifications such as re-enrollment, third party liability (TPL) and prior-authorization.
The HUSKY billing portal message center/ master clerk email are now the pathways for these DSS communications.
Locally owned InfoShred, a major document destruction, records storage and e-recycling company based in East Windsor, CT is offering an inexpensive option to physicians for the destruction of documents. To receive the special pricing of just $0.15 per pound ($50 minimum), the documents for destruction must be dropped off at InfoShred in East Windsor. Ten Percent of the fee will go to the Hartford County Medical Foundation.
If interested, contact Nancy Lombardo, Sales and Special Projects, InfoShred at 860-627-5800, Ext.136 or nlombardo@infoshred.com
AMA Announces New CPT Code for Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine Doses
The American Medical Association (AMA) is anticipating the approval of Pfizer’s emergency use authorization (EUA) request for administering its COVID-19 vaccine to children 5–11 years old. The AMA has announced updates to Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code sets to include pediatric doses of the vaccine, in order to give healthcare providers time to update their electronic systems for the inoculation of these younger patients. These provisional codes will be effective as soon as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues its EUA order for pediatric vaccination for COVID-19. The FDA is scheduled to review the EUA application for pediatric doses of the vaccine later this month.
