§ 3614-d. Universal standards for coding of payment for medical assistance claims for long term care. Claims for payment submitted under contracts or agreements with insurers under the medical assistance program for home and community-based long-term care services provided under this article, by fiscal intermediaries operating pursuant to section three hundred sixty-five-f of the social services law, and by residential health care facilities operating pursuant to article twenty-eight of this chapter shall have standard billing codes. Such insurers shall include but not be limited to Medicaid managed care plans and managed long term care plans. Such payments shall be based on universal billing codes approved by the department or a nationally accredited organization as approved by the department; provided, however, such coding shall be consistent with any codes developed as part of the uniform assessment system for long term care established by the department.
