RE: Reimbursement for Services Delivered via Audio-Only Telecommunications
In a Provider ALERT issued
on April 26, 2023, the Alabama Medicaid Agency (Medicaid) indicated audio-only
telecommunications would be reimbursed at parity with services delivered face-to-face
for dates of services through September 30, 2023, and on October 1, 2023, new
rates for audio-only would be established.
Effective immediately, Medicaid
will continue to reimburse services rendered via audio-only telecommunications at
parity with approved services delivered face-to-face and will continue to
monitor utilization.
Providers should refer to
Chapter 112 – Telemedicine Services for more information. Claims not billed correctly
are subject to post-payment review and recoupments.
Providers with billing
questions should contact the Gainwell Technologies Provider Assistance Center
at 1-800-688-7989.
