ABA claim denials for codes 97152, 97153, and 97154

The Medicaid Operations team has identified an issue causing ABA claims submitted under codes 97152, 97153, and 97154 without a modifier to be incorrectly denied with denial code PS0 — Not a covered service and CARC code 204

We have updated our claims processing system to align with state guidance for these codes. The Claims Escalation team is conducting a thorough review and will reprocess all affected claims. The reprocessing is expected to be completed by January 10, 2025. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate the care you provide to our members.
