Please be advised that AmeriHealth New Jersey will postpone the
implementation of Claim Payment Policy #00.01.64: Consultation Codes, which
outlines our reimbursement position on Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)
consultation codes.
We previously communicated that this Claim Payment Policy would go into
effect January 1, 2018, which would have aligned with reimbursement standards
on certain CPT consultation codes set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services. However, the implementation of this policy will be postponed, and the
Notification has been removed from our Medical Policy Portal.
Once the new implementation date is determined, we will post a new
Notification on our Medical Policy Portal. We will also
communicate this information in a future Partners in Health
UpdateSM article.
If you have any questions, email us at consultcodes@amerihealth.com. Be sure to include your
name, contact number, and provider ID number in your email.
