Chapter 538 School-Based Health Services
Audiology Billing Form
Effective August 1, 2019
Slide2Consent to Bill Medicaid
Prior to billing parents must provide written consent to release information and to bill for Medicaid reimbursement.
Consent is valid for one calendar year from the signature date.
Parents are to be provided an annual notice.
2
Slide3Plan of Care
Services must be documented on the
Plan of Care
signed by the parent and therapist.
Effective August 1, 2019 Service Care Plan is now called a Plan of Care. This provides more consistency and avoids a terminology conflict with private school service plans. There is not a need to have a new one signed if it says Service Care Plan
The IEP Program has been adjusted to reflect the change in terminology.
Specific ICD-10 diagnosis codes are required. ICD-10 codes must relate to the specific type of therapy being provided. Think of these more as treatment diagnosis codes. All appropriate diagnosis codes need to be listed on the Plan of Care.
A global code such as Autism would not be appropriate.
3
Slide4Physician Authorization Form
Physician Authorization (PAF) is required annually to bill for occupational therapy.
The Audiologist is to document suggested ICD-10 diagnosis codes that specifically relate to the therapy being provided.
When the physician signs the authorization form they are confirming the therapist’s code(s).
Authorizations can be signed by a Physician (MD or DO), Physician’s Assistant (PA) or by an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN).
Should still obtain PAF even if the student will be working with an SSLPA.
4
Slide5Student Demographics
Use the student’s real name as listed in WVEIS
The diagnosis code is to be an ICD-10 code that matches the need for audiology.
County and school names can be written out or use the county and school WVEIS codes.
For provider name print the name of the person providing the service.

Slide17Third Party Billing
At times a student may be eligible for Medicaid as the secondary insurance.
Medicaid is the payer of last resort for direct services (OT, PT, Speech, Audiology, Psychological, and Nursing).
If the student has special transportation services, the direct billing should be submitted. The claim will be denied but will justify claiming transportation billing for that instructional day.
Medicaid will pay ancillary services (TCM, personal care aide and special transportation) as the secondary insurance.
Occasionally a student may be eligible for Medicaid under two numbers. In this case district’s should always use the primary Medicaid number.
