Behavioral health providers are reminded that Service Encounter Reporting Instructions (SERI) v2025-2 becomes effective July 1, 2025.
As part of this update, the change outlined in the SERI v2025.1 interim guidance (January 1, 2025) regarding Place of Service (POS) code 58 for Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) services also becomes effective.
As stated in the July 1, 2025 SERI:
- Providers must report all service codes that represent all OTP services required under state and federal law. H0020 is only to be used to report the encounter for dosing. Report ALL other services using the applicable SERI code and applicable place of service 15 or 58.
Limitations
- Place of Service Code ‘58’ only (Non-residential Opioid Treatment Facility).
- Place of service ‘58’ is for all services rendered in an OTP.
Note that mobile treatment programs should use place of service (POS) 15.
Providers are expected to report POS 58 effective July 1, 2025 per SERI. CHPW recognizes that some behavioral health agencies (BHAs) have not previously reported POS 58.
