Description of Change and/or User Instructions

ICD 10 Diagnostic Code

 

An ICD 10 diagnostic code has been added to CMBHS to ensure consistency with CMS rules for submission for claims.

F203 Undifferentiated Schizophrenia has been added to CMBHS.

All CMBHS Users

Pending Claims Page

Improvements have been made to the CMBHS Pending Claims page to correct a frequent user error for Day Rate Attendance claims.

CMBHS has always prohibited changes to submitted claims source documents until the claims have finished processing and are in a final status. Unfortunately, users have continued to make changes to Day Rate Attendance documents, causing the claims process to stall. When this happens, a call to the CMBHS Help Line and a data fix by DSHS IT are required to restart the process so the claim can reach its final status.

The improvements prevent a user from submitting claims while there are claims that are not in a final status displaying in a group of search results. So, when you conduct a Pending Claim search and the results include claims that are not in final status, you will receive the following message:

“The search criteria you entered includes client(s) who have submitted claims that are still being processed by DSHS. Day Rate Attendance claims can be submitted for these clients only when those claims are in a final status.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

CMBHS Client #: 1111111     Claim #: 2222222

Begin Date - End Date:  00/00/0000 - 00/00/0000

---------------------------------------------------------------------

You cannot continue submitting claims from this page for other clients until you do a new search that does not include these clients for these days. “

 

This means you must redefine your search parameters to exclude these unprocessed claims from your search so they do not display on the page.  Often just changing the date will exclude these claims.

Substance Abuse Services Organizations that submit Claims to DSHS

Case Management Open Case Page

Three (3) new case management types have been added to the Case Management Open Case page.

1.      Recovery Support - For substance abuse recovery support services, 2 new types have been added – Recovery Support – Adult and Recovery Support – Youth.

Select the Case Type from the drop-down list that corresponds to the recovery support service type provided, adult or youth.

2.      Other - Another case management type has also been added to the drop-down list, Other. Only use Other if you have been instructed to do so by DSHS for a specific Case Management type.

When Other is selected, a text box appears where you must enter text to identify the type. This information will be provided by DSHS when it is applicable.

The requirement that identifying text be entered allows Other to be used for more than one case management type and a 100 character drop down box appears.

 

DSHS will notify users when the CMBHS case management reports have been updated to display these new types.

Health Community Collaborative (HCC) - Case Manager Reassignment

The Reassign Case Manager function is now available at all case management locations in CMBHS including HCC case management locations.  This means that after an HCC Open Case is created and a case manager assigned to a client, HCC users now have a way to change the assigned case manager when needed.

The Reassign Case Manager function is available from the Administrative toolbar at the top of the page under Provider Tools.

Corrected Problems

The following problems that occurred one or more times in CMBHS have been corrected:

·        Total did not work correctly;

·        Two Initial Invoices were allowed;

·        Creation of a Supplemental Invoice when there was no Initial;

·        Invoices and Invoice List did not consistently display cents;

 

NOTE:

·        A new invoice cannot be submitted for a DSHS contract until the previously submitted invoice for that contract is in a final status. Final statuses for CMBHS Invoices are Vouchered, Deleted and Rejected.

·        The same rules apply to all contract type invoices in CMBHS.

·        If you have questions about whether you should submit Invoices for a DSHS Contract, contact your DSHS Contract Manager.

Automated Medicaid Eligibility Verification (MEV) Process

 

The automated CMBHS Medicaid Eligibility Verification process has been improved to submit a query to the TMHP Medicaid Eligibility Roster for mental health services clients whenever a MH Uniform Assessment documented in CMBHS is placed in Closed Complete status. For clients who already have an MEV documented in CMBHS, this process update the information.

NOTE: This change does not impact the user initiated MEV process.

CMBHS Mental Health and Substance Abuse Disorder User Organizations

Begin/End Service Page, Comment Field

An error in CMBHS where user entered Comments in the End Service section of the page overwrite the comments entered into the Begin Service section of the page, has been corrected.

A new Comments field has been added to the End Service section, so that the Begin Service and End Service sections each have their own Comment field.

No changes have been made to how the Comments fields work.
