What is Redesign Attempting to do?
- The Redesign Initiative is an integral component of Ohio’s comprehensive strategy to rebuild community behavioral health system capacity
- The Initiative is based on key Medicaid behavioral health reforms
- Most significant to use in Streamline is how it impacts the billing of services to Medicaid
Yes – SmartCare™ is ready!
- Providing a batch uploading of procedure codes for the new services and rates that need to be set up
- Service Completion Rules custom for the State of Ohio
- Charge Rules custom for the State of Ohio
- Tracking mechanism for staff degrees with billable degree by a date range, staff years of service, and staff Medicaid licenses/degrees
- 837 file that meets Ohio Medicaid Billing Requirements
- Authorization Management to track utilization of services to manage allowed frequencies of services
- Flexible Procedure Code Setup

- Allows for varying the billing code and modifier based on the Degree of the clinician/staff providing the service

- Rolling up Services in Same Day
-
- All services in a day that match in the following information are combined into one claim line on the claim file:
