2023-09: MHR Redesign Configuration (96156)

Date: 04/20/23

Louisiana Healthcare Connections has identified that our implementation of the mental health rehabilitation (MHR) Redesign, effective January 1, 2023, inadvertently excluded individual LMHPs rendering the assessment and treatment planning components of CPST services.

We are prioritizing the remediation to update our logic to include all LMHPs listed below: 

  • Medical psychologists;
  • Licensed psychologists;
  • Licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs);
  • Licensed professional counselors (LPCs);
  • Licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs);
  • Licensed addiction counselors (LACs); and
  • Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs; note specialization required per the manual).

Any claims processed in error will be recycled immediately with no further action required by providers. Providers should receive their payments/updated remittances on or before May 4th, 2023.
