What has changed?
On July 1, 2021, the Health Care Authority (HCA) made updates to the ProviderOne billing system to direct claims for vision hardware fitting fees and some prescription fees for clients enrolled in a managed care organization (MCO) to the client’s MCO for payment. These fees were previously covered under fee-for-service (FFS).
Retroactive for claims with dates of service on and after July 1, 2021, all medical providers must bill these codes directly to the MCOs.
