► MH Eligibility
Billing Manual Description Details
3.1.0 Client Eligibility Specialty mental health clients must be enrolled in Medi-Cal in order for the MHP to be reimbursed through the SD/MC claiming system
3.1.1 Medi-Cal Eligibility Determination -DHCS is responsible for instituting procedures for enrolling individuals in the Medi-Cal program

-The determination of beneficiary eligibility and the collection of beneficiary eligibility data is
typically the responsibility of the County Department of Social Services.

-Detailed information regarding beneficiary eligibility criteria may be obtained through the DHCS Medi-Cal Eligibility Division website

-The following information regarding Medi-Cal eligibility is integral to the management of
Mental Health Medi-Cal claiming:

· Medi-Cal eligibility is established on a monthly basis.
· Medi-Cal eligibility may require that a beneficiary’s Share of Cost be met before MediCal will pay for any services.
· Medi-Cal eligibility may be established retroactively through legislation, court hearings and/or decisions.
· HIPAA 270/271 transactions are available from DHCS to verify beneficiary Medi-Cal eligibility.
· MHPs should verify beneficiary Medi-Cal eligibility for the month of service prior to submitting claims for reimbursement.
3.1.2 Medi-Cal Eligibility Review  -Once Medi-Cal eligibility is established, beneficiary eligibility information may be reviewed by authorized MHP staff

-With few exceptions, the source of this eligibility verification information will be the DHCS Point of Service system
3.1.2 Monthly MEDS Extract File  - The Monthly MEDS Extract File (MMEF) contains, among other data, all Aid Codes for which
beneficiaries who are the county’s responsibility are eligible at the date/time the file was
created.

-The MMEF contains information for the current month and previous 15 months.

-A new MMEF is available at the end of each month and applies to the following month’s eligibility.

-MMEF data is not used to determine eligibility during adjudication. The adjudication process
queries the Medi-Cal Eligibility Data System (MEDS) for eligibility data at the time the claim is
being adjudicated
3.1.2 MEDS and MEDSLITE -MEDS and MEDSLITE provide eligibility status code(s) for a beneficiary

-For a particular month and year of service, if the eligibility is valid, then the approved Aid Code will be the highestpaying eligible SD/MC Aid Code

-If a beneficiary is found in MEDS or MEDSLITE, but none of the Aid Codes assigned to the
beneficiary are applicable to SD/MC, the claim will be denied.

-MEDSLITE is an Internet-based program that allows MHPs to verify eligibility information but
does not allow MHPs to view the Social Security Administration data that is contained within
MEDS
3.2.0 Aid Codes -During the Medi-Cal application and enrollment process, Aid Codes are assigned to Medi-Cal
eligible clients to indicate the program(s) under which the client qualifies for services.

-The DHCS Short Doyle Medi-Cal Aid Codes Master Chart (which includes both Mental Health
and Drug Medi-Cal) can be found on the MedCCC Library. The Aid Codes Master Chart provides
useful information about the following:

· FFP
· Aid codes
· Type of benefits
· Share of cost
· Aid code descriptions
· Indication of reimbursement through the DHCS Fiscal Intermediary, Drug Medi-Cal Program (DMC), Mental Health Plans, and/or Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) programs.

► Modifiers
Modifier Definition When to Use Codes/Code Types This Modifier Applies To
27 Multiple Outpatient Hospital Evaluation and Management (E/M) Encounters on the Same Date: For hospital outpatient reporting purposes, utilization of hospital resources related to separate and distinct E/M encounters performed in multiple outpatient hospital settings on the same date may be reported by adding modifier 27 to each appropriate level of outpatient and/or emergency
department E/M code(s). This modifier provides a means of
reporting circumstances involving evaluation and management
services provided by physician(s) in more than one (multiple)
outpatient hospital setting(s) (e.g., hospital emergency
department, clinic).
Use this modifier, as appropriate, to override those lockout codes that can be overridden with a modifier. The lockout codes that can be overridden have ** next to them in service tables 1-10. This modifier needs to be used even if the over ridable lockout combinations were provided by that same
provider to the same beneficiary in different settings because
when SDMC is determining whether two services cannot be
billed together (i.e., are “locked out”), it compares the service
code billed only to previously approved service codes on the
submitted claim and in the beneficiary’s history. If two service
codes cannot be billed together, whichever code is processed
second will be denied.
This modifier will only be used with CPT codes that are part of an over-ridable lockout
combination.
59 Distinct Procedural Service: Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was distinct or independent from services performed on the same day. Modifier 59 is used to identify procedures/services that are not normally reported together, but are appropriate under the circumstances. Documentation must support a different session, different procedure or surgery, different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion, or separate injury (or area of injury in extensive injuries) not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day by the same individual. However, when another already established modifier is appropriate it should be used rather than modifier 59. Only if no more descriptive modifier is available, and the use of modifier 59 best explains the circumstances, should modifier 59 be used. Use this modifier, as appropriate, to override those lockout codes that can be overridden with a modifier. The codes that can be overridden have * or ** next to them. This modifier is also to be used by any appropriate professional to override a 24-hour or day duplicate services lockout for S9484 (crisis stabilization). Do not use this code for crisis intervention. This modifier may be used by a licensed, pre-licensed or otherwise qualified healthcare professional employed by the county and/or contracted provider. This does not mean that if a provider performs an outpatient service while a patient is in a crisis stabilization unit, they can submit a separate claim for that service. Doing so would cause the service to be denied. These modifiers need to be used even if the over-ridable lockout combinations were provided by that same provider to the same beneficiary in different settings because when SDMC is determining whether two services cannot be billed together (i.e., are “locked out”), it compares the service code billed only to previously approved service codes on the submitted claim and in the beneficiary’s history. If two service codes cannot be billed together, whichever code is processed second will be denied. This modifier will be used with: • CPT codes that are part of an over-ridable lockout combination • S9484
76 Repeat Procedure or Service by Same Physician or Other Qualified Health Care Professional: It may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was repeated by the same physician or other
qualified health care professional subsequent to the original
procedure or service. This circumstance may be reported by adding
modifier 76 to the repeated procedure or service. Note: This
modifier should not be appended to an E/M service. 
Use this modifier to override 24-hour or day duplicate services lockout for S9484 (crisis stabilization). Do not use this code for crisis intervention. This modifier may be used by a licensed,
pre-licensed or otherwise qualified healthcare professional
employed by the county and/or contracted provider. 
This modifier will be used with:
• CPT codes that
are part of an
over-ridable
lockout
combination
• S9484
77 Repeat Procedure by Another Physician or Other Qualified Health Care Professional: It may be necessary to indicate that a basic procedure or service was repeated by another physician or other qualified health care professional subsequent to the original procedure or service. This circumstance may be reported by adding modifier 77 to the repeated procedure or service. Note: This modifier should not be appended to an evaluation and management service. Use this modifier to override 24-hour or day duplicate services lockout for S9484 (crisis stabilization). Do not use this code for crisis intervention or any other outpatient service. This modifier may be used by a licensed, pre-licensed or otherwise qualified healthcare professional employed by the county and/or contracted provider. This does not mean that if a provider performs an outpatient service while a patient is in a crisis stabilization unit, they can submit a separate claim for that service. Doing so would cause the service to be denied. This modifier will be used with S9484
93 Synchronous Telemedicine Service Rendered Via Telephone or Other Real-Time Interactive Audio-Only Telecommunication System: Synchronous telemedicine service is defined as a real-time interaction between a physician or other qualified health care professional and a patient who is located away at a distant site from the physician or other qualified professional. The totality of the communication of information exchanged between the physician or other qualified health care professional during the course of the synchronous telemedicine service must be of an amount and nature that is sufficient to meet the key components and/or requirements of the same service when rendered via a faceto-face interaction. Use this modifier when a health care professional is providing services and benefits via telephone. If using this modifier, indicate that the service was provided in Place of Service 02 or 10. This modifier will be used with CPT codes that can be provided in a telehealth place of service and via telephone.
95 Synchronous Telemedicine Service Rendered Via a Real-Time Interactive Audio and Video Telecommunication System. Synchronous telemedicine service is defined as a real-time interaction between a physician or other qualified health care
professional and a patient who is located at a distant site from the
physician or other qualified health care professional. The totality of
the communication of information exchanged between the
physician or other qualified health care professional and the
patient during the course of the synchronous telemedicine service
must be of an amount and nature that would be sufficient to meet
the key components and/or requirements of the same service
when rendered via a face-to-face interaction. 
Use this modifier when a health care professional is providing services and benefits via telehealth. If using this modifier, indicate that the service was provided in Place of Service 02 or
10. 
This modifier will be used with CPT codes that can be provided in a
telehealth place of
service.
SC Valid for codes when the service was provided via telephone or audio-only systems. Use this modifier when a health care professional is providing services and benefits via telephone or audio-only and that service is described by a HCPCS code. If using this modifier, indicate that the service was provided in Place of Service 02 or 10. This modifier only applies to HCPCS codes.
GT Via telehealth in 24-hour or day facilities. Use this modifier on day or 24-hour claims when the service was provided via telehealth.  
GC This service has been performed in part by a resident under the direction of a teaching physician. Use this modifier when the service was performed by a physician resident. If the pre-licensed professional has an NPI, they may report their own NPI. If they do not, the supervising physician’s NPI would be reported with modifier GC after the service to indicate that the service was performed by a resident. If the service was performed by a pre-licensed professional who is not a resident, use modifier HL.  
HA Child/adolescent program Use this modifier when billing for Children’s Crisis Residential Program (CCRP) services or psychiatric inpatient: administrative day under 21.  
HB Adult program, non-geriatric Use this modifier when billing for crisis residential treatment services provided to adults from 21 through 64 years of age.  
HC Adult program, geriatric Use this modifier when billing for crisis residential treatment services provided to adults 65 years of age.  
HE Mental health program Use this modifier when billing for 24-hour and day services. For additional information about when this modifier is required refer to service table 12. Do not use this modifier when claiming for outpatient services.  
HK Specialized mental health programs for high-risk populations Use this modifier to indicate that an IHBS or ICC service was provided.  
HL Intern Use this modifier when the service was performed by a registrants and interns who are working in clinical settings under supervision to obtain licensure. If the pre-licensed professional has an NPI, they may report their own NPI. If they do not, the supervising clinician’s NPI would be reported with modifier HL after the service to indicate that the service was performed by a pre-licensed professional. If the service was performed by a resident, use modifier GC. Services provided by individuals  who are currently registered with the applicable Board.
HQ Group Setting Use this modifier to indicate that a therapy service was provided in a group setting. This modifier should be used with add-on code G2212 when that code adds time to 90849 (multiple family group psychotherapy) or 90853 (group psychotherapy other than a multiple-family group)
HV The State covers 50 percent of the nonfederal share, as the service was determined to be covered under Proposition 30. Please note that this definition does not correspond to the national description reference; the definition reflects state policy. Use this modifier to identify services that the county provided as a result of a federal mandate that are subject to Proposition 30. Currently, services provided by the Qualified Individual (QI) as a result of the federal requirements contained in the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA), such as intensive care coordination services, should use the modifier HV. Likewise, aftercare services (for six months after discharge from an STRTP) are a new requirement of the FFPSA, and specialty mental health services provided as part of a High-Fidelity Wraparound program should also use the modifier HV.  
HW The State covers 100 percent of the nonfederal share, as the service was determined to be covered under Proposition 30. Use this modifier to identify services that the county provided as a result of a state mandate that are subject to Proposition 30. Currently continuum of care services provided as a result of AB 403 should use the HW modifier.  
TG Complex/high tech level of care Use this modifier when billing for day treatment intensive and crisis stabilization. For additional information about when this modifier is required refer to service table 12. Do not use this
modifier when claiming for outpatient services.
 
XE Separate encounter, a service that is distinct because it occurred during a separate encounter. Use this modifier, as appropriate, to override those lockout codes that can be overridden with a modifier. The codes that can be overridden have * or ** next to them. These modifiers need to be used even if the over-ridable lockout combinations were provided by that same provider to the same beneficiary in different settings because when SDMC is determining whether two services cannot be billed together (i.e., are “locked out”), it compares the service code billed only to previously approved service codes on the submitted claim and in the beneficiary’s history. If two service codes cannot be billed together, whichever code is processed second will be denied.  
XP Separate practitioner, a service that is distinct because it was performed by a separate practitioner. Use this modifier, as appropriate, to override those lockout codes that can be overridden with a modifier. The codes that can be overridden have ** next to them. These modifiers need to be used even if the over-ridable lockout combinations were provided by that same provider to the same beneficiary in different settings because when SDMC is determining whether two services cannot be billed together (i.e., are “locked out”), it compares the service code billed only to previously approved service codes on the submitted claim and in the beneficiary’s history. If two service codes cannot be billed together, whichever code is processed second will be denied.  
XU Unusual non-overlapping service, the use of a service that is distinct because it does not overlap usual components of the main service. Use this modifier, as appropriate, to override those lockout codes that can be overridden with a modifier. The codes that can be overridden have * or ** next to them. These modifiers need to be used even if the over-ridable lockout combinations were provided by that same provider to the same beneficiary in different settings because when SDMC is determining whether two services cannot be billed together (i.e., are “locked out”), it compares the service code billed only to previously approved
service codes on the submitted claim and in the beneficiary’s
history. If two service codes cannot be billed together,
whichever code is processed second will be denied.
