Do the new billing requirements affect California Children’s Services (CCS) and Genetically Handicapped Persons Program (GHPP) claims, including Los Angeles County CCS ?
Yes. CCS and GHPP claims are included in the new billing requirements. Any program that currently uses the medical supply local “99” billing codes will be required to conform to the new billing requirements effective for dates of service on or after April 1, 2009. Claims for all GHPP clients and CCS clients residing in Los Angeles County must be billed on the CMS-1500 claim form until notified otherwise.
