Medicaid Peer Support Services

June 1, 2023

Thank you for your valued partnership in good health.

WellCare has been working to implement enhancements to our physician reimbursement policies that promote member health and are aligned with Kentucky Medicaid policies.

Effective June 25, 2023, in accordance with 907 KAR 15:010, WellCare is creating a new claim edit to deny HCPCS code H0038 (Peer Support Services) when billed over 30 hours (120 units) per seven-day calendar week. This edit is based per member.

If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact your Provider Relations Representative. Thank you again for your continued partnership in rendering quality healthcare to our members.

Sincerely,

WellCare Health Plans
