Orthodontia
•
As required by Ohio Administrative Code, coverage of comprehensive
orthodontics is limited to the most severe handicapping orthodontic
conditions.
•
Comprehensive orthodontics should be considered only after eruption of
permanent centrals, laterals, first molars and first premolars. Exceptions
can be made in the case of severe maxillary and / or mandibular growth
abnormalities.
•
Coverage is limited to patients younger than 21.
•
Only one course of comprehensive orthodontic treatment per person,
per lifetime is covered and is capped at a total dollar amount.
Orthodontia Changes
• Current CareSource orthodontia review policy will be in effect until
October 1, 2008.
• Beginning October 1, a two-step review process will be required.
• Please refer to pages 16-19 of the CareSource Dental Handbook for
detailed information.
Orthodontia Changes
• Step 1: Evaluation for Orthodontia Referral
– The referring dentist or orthodontist must submit a request for
orthodontic workup.
• Required Documentation:
– Orthodontic predetermination form
– A diagnostic complete set of radiographs OR a diagnostic panoramic
radiograph OR photos showing the patient's bite and occlusal view
– Any other supporting documentation
– If it is determined that the patient’s condition meets the established
CareSource/ODJFS guidelines as having the most severe
handicapping orthodontic condition, an authorization for a
comprehensive orthodontic workup will be given.
Orthodontia Changes
• Step 2: Orthodontic Workup
– If, after the orthodontic workup, the orthodontist believes the member
may meet the CareSource/ODJFS guidelines as having the most
severe handicapping orthodontic condition, the orthodontist must
submit a request for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
• Required Documentation:
– A diagnostic complete set of radiographs OR a diagnostic panoramic
radiograph
– Properly trimmed study or computer models (preferred)
– Cephalometric films (D0340)-no tracings
– Lateral and frontal photographs of the patient with lips together
– Any other supporting documentation
Orthodontia Changes
• Step 2: Orthodontic Workup (cont.)
–If the request for comprehensive orthodontic
treatment is approved, an authorization will be
sent to the requesting provider which will
provide authorization for the entire course of
treatment (as long as the patient remains an
eligible CareSource member.
Orthodontia Changes
•
Beginning October 1, 2008 orthodontia reimbursement for maintenance
services will have the following changes:
– Monthly billing cycle (D8030 Monthly Orthodontic Treatment) instead of
quarterly for new starts only.
– For ease of billing, orthodontists can continue quarterly claims submission for
new patients by submitting 3 of the D8030 monthly charges if the patient was
enrolled and actively being treated during that quarter.
– The quarterly billing cycle (D8670 Quarterly Orthodontic Treatment) should be
continued for existing patients until their treatment is concluded.
Reimbursement
Per Ohio Administrative Code 5101:3-1-60 Medicaid reimbursement:
Payment for a covered service constitutes payment-in-full and may not be
construed as a partial payment when the reimbursement amount is less than
the provider’s charge. The provider may not collect and/or bill the consumer for
any difference between the payment and the provider’s charge or request the
consumer to share in the cost through a deductible, coinsurance, co-payment
or other similar charge.
Reimbursement
•
CareSource absorbs any member co-payments.
•
The cost of analgesic and local anesthetic agents is included in the
fees associated with covered dental services and is not reimbursed
separately.
