The effective date question has now been answered. Bundling will become effective for dates of service beginning August 1, 2009. This means that the over-the-counter pharmacy denials that have been issued recently should be reversed. The following is the text of the message from ODJFS:
For dates of service on or after August 1, 2009, ODJFS will no longer process claims for custom wheelchairs and repairs; physical, occupational and speech language pathology/audiology therapy; medical transportation; oxygen; and certain over-the counter drugs. Nursing facilities will now be responsible for providing these services to Medicaid residents and will be reimbursed through the NF per diem. If you have questions related to claims for these services, please contact Joseph Doodan at 614-752-4765. If you have questions related to nursing facility reimbursement, please contact Julie Evers at 614/752-3618.
Should you have additional questions, please contact Pete Van Runkle (pvanrunkle@ohca.org), 614/436-4154 or Mike Compton (mcompton@ohca.org), 614/540-1326.
