[Provider] Proposed Rule for MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapter II & III, Section 103

[Provider Notification]

ATTENTION:           All MaineCare providers of Rural Health Centers

 

Proposed rules are issued to the public for review and comment.  These
rules may change before being finally adopted.

 

Rule Title or Subject: 

MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapters II & III, Section 103, Rural Health
Center Services

 

Concise Summary:  

The Department intends to transition to a new information system, MIHMS,
in 2010 with 30 days notice to providers.  Upon implementation of MIHMS,
the Department proposes to delete the current local billing codes in
Chapter III, Table 1, and replace them with the codes in Chapter III,
Table 2, to become compliant with Federal HIPAA regulations.
Furthermore, the Department proposes requiring providers to bill
services, including documenting the type of visit, diagnoses and
procedures on the UB04 claim form, which will replace the CMS 1500 form.


 

All proposed rules are posted to the MaineCare web site at
