If you are a provider who is currently reopening day program services, remember that as you bring additional groups of individuals back, a new provider assurance form and virtual tour is required for each group/space regardless of previous group/space approvals.
Provider Billing
While some approved services are not yet able to be authorized in the CPT/MSS, providers must still complete the billing of the services. If you are having difficulty or receiving a billing error, please contact Jeramee Caraballo, MCBDD Medicaid Services Manager, at jerameec@mcbdd.org for assistance.
