Beginning in March 2016, the Missouri Children's Trauma Network will offer a Motivational Interviewing training program. Motivational Interviewing is a tool that will assist providers with Trauma Informed Care. This program will target six regions in the state of Missouri. It will be offered to any staff in these regions that have an interest in expanding and maintaining Motivational Interviewing within their practice or agency.
The MO HealthNet Division (MHD) Provider Education Unit yearly conducts general program workshops. The schedule may be accessed from the Provider Participant page or 2016 MO HealthNet Training Workshops link. Instructions on how to register are outlined on the workshop schedule.
The MO HealthNet Division (MHD) Medicare Unit is updating their system to become paperless. The MHD Medicare Unit’s preferred correspondence method with providers will be by email or fax.
Providers need to update their email addresses and fax numbers to receive MHD Medicare letters and billing statements.
The HCY Program is a comprehensive, primary and preventative health care program for MO HealthNet Division (MHD) eligible children and youth under the age of 21. The MO HealthNet Division Provider Manuals Section 9 describes the HCY Program.
Providers can access the MO HealthNet Division (MHD) Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system by calling (573) 751-2896. The IVR allows active MHD provider inquiries for the following options:
MO HealthNet Division (MHD) providers filing claims should choose the correct International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code. The date of service will determine whether the diagnosis code set value must be ICD-9th revision or ICD-10th revision. The date of service determines the ICD code, not the filing date. Providers are encouraged to file claims on the MHD electronic billing portal, emomed.
Starting with dates of service on October 1, 2015, and later, claims will require an International Classification of Diseases (ICD), 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (CM)/Procedure Coding System (PCS), medical diagnosis and/or inpatient procedure code. While October 1, 2015, is fast approaching, there is still time to transition to ICD-10. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provide many free tools and resources at www.cms.gov/icd10.
