Subject: Vendor rate increase for adult day health.

Effective Date: July 1, 1999.

Document Description: This numbered memorandum replaces Numbered Memorandum 99-22 MAA, sent on June 15, 1999, and includes the same vendor rate increase information. However, state-unique procedure codes 0820H and 0821H have been removed from the attached billing instructions replacement page (9/10). With the institution of new regulations for adult day services, these categories of service were eliminated effective July 1, 1999. Effective with dates of service on or after July 1, 1999, the Medical Assistance Administration (MAA) has updated the relative value units, BAUs, CPT codes, HCPCS codes, and given a 2% vendor rate increase for adult day health.
