4. Breast Prosthesis-Rules are revised to allow an exception for coverage of external breast prosthesis in instances where a woman with breast cancer received reconstruction following a mastectomy, but the breast implant fails or ruptures and circumstances are such that implant replacement is not recommended and/or desired by the member. [Attachment]
5. Utilization Review-Rules are revised to update OHCA's designated agent that reviews the length of stay and appropriateness of hospital admissions from the "Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality (OFMQ)" to the generic term "Quality Improvement Organization (QIO)" since OHCA no longer contracts with the OFMQ. Also changes are made to remove an invalid billing and inquiries reference and replace it with current references. [Attachment]
6. Amniocentesis, Evaluation and Management-Rules are revised to allow an evaluation and management (E&M) service to be billed on the same day an amniocentesis is performed. [Attachment]
7. Observation-Rules are revised to clarify that Observation is a patient status rather than a place and that it is appropriate when there is a lack of diagnostic certainty and when extensive therapy has a reasonable possibility of abating the member's presenting condition. Changes are also being made to allow hospitals to re-bill Observation services if an admission does not meet inpatient criteria but does meet observation criteria. [Attachment]
DHS INITITATED MODIFICATION
8. ADvantage Program Waiver Services-Rules are revised to concur with recent changes to the ADvantage Home and Community Based Services Waiver document as approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Rule revisions include: (1) changing the covered localities for the CD-PASS program to allow for state wide expansion; (2) removing the requirement that the member receive State Plan or ADvantage personal care for one year before being considered for the CD-PASS program; (3) eliminating Comprehensive Home Care and CHC Personal Care; (4) updating the nutritional requirement for Home Delivered Meals and adding the requirement that the provider obtain a signature from the member or member’s representative; and (5) revising the service definition, scope, and requirements for Institutional Transitions Services to reflect newly negotiated terms in the Waiver.
