Substance Use Disorder Screening

Updates have been made to the Substance Use Disorder Screening to assist providers in collecting more precise information needed to identify those at high risk for an opioid overdose. Identification of those at risk allows the provider the opportunity to intervene. 

Not all of the ten new questions in the Substance Use tab of the Screening are required, some are conditional on the previous response. Most are answered with Yes or No.

 

The new data brought in by these questions will provide important information to HHSC and potentially impact future policy decisions, as well as to allow us to meet Federal reporting requirements.

Caution: Before assigning the new Medication Claim Scribe role to a user account, it is very important that your organization understand how it currently uses the CMBHS Medication Order page.

·         The Medication Claim Scribe role is for use only at CMBHS locations that do NOT use the CMBHS Medication Order functionality for clinical purposes at ANY time. If you use the CMBHS Medication Order ONLY for the purpose of submitting claims to HHSC and NEVER use it as the basis for administering or dispensing medication to clients, you may assign the Medication Claim Scribe role to users. Additional guidance will be provided by HHSC SUD Services regarding other requirements.

·         If at any of your service locations, medications ARE administered or dispensed by a licensed medical provider to a client based on the Medication Order documented in CMBHS, do NOT assign the Medication Claim Scribe to anyone at that service location. Make no changes to your current processes based on the addition of the new role in CMBHS until your organization studies the process and can ensure that the change is made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. 

CMBHS User Organizations that Submit Medication Claims

 

Client Profile -  Local Case Number (LCN)

CMBHS has not been consistently enforcing the requirement that a LCN must be entered into the Client Profile when an Open Case is created at an HCC and JBCR location in CMBHS.  That problem has been fixed in CMBHS.

 

Remember to add a LCN to all Client Profiles created at HCC and JBCR CMBHS locations. 

LMHA Users at HCC/JBCR CMBHS Locations

YES Waiver Clinical Eligibility

 

YES Waiver staff at LMHAs and HHSC will now have an additional 14 days after a YES Waiver Clinical Eligibility (CE) and a YES Waiver Individual Plan of Care (IPC) are placed in Closed Complete to make changes to the document. This change will allow editing of an IPC Revision if it expires while pending HHSC approval.

To make changes to the YES Waiver document, use the usual process of placing the document into draft status, making the change and then returning the document to Ready for Review for the LMHAs and Closed Complete for HHSC YES Waiver Reviewer staff. 

YES Waiver LMHAs and Providers

HHSC YES Waiver Auto-approve of IPCs

HHSC will re-activate the CMBHS auto-approve function for YES Waiver IPCs. This function allows IPCs that complies with all requirements and has no overages to be automatically approved by CMBHS, thereby leaving more time for HHSC YES Waiver Reviewer to review and assist LMHA staff the IPC prior to implementation.

YES Waiver LMHAs and Providers
