KMAP BULLETIN: Append Modifier U1 to S0315, FE Telemonitoring Installation

Date: 07/02/24

Effective with dates of service on and after August 1, 2024, the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS)/Frail Elderly (FE) Telemonitoring installation claims must be submitted with code S0315 with a U1 modifier appended. The current HCBS/FE Telemonitoring installation coverage criteria, limitations, and prior authorization requirements will remain the same.

The HCBS/FE Telemonitoring installation is not subject to Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) requirements.

Note: The effective date of the policy is August 1, 2024, with noted exceptions above. The implementation of State policy by the KanCare Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) may vary from the date noted in the Kansas Medical Assistance Program (KMAP) bulletins. The KanCare Open Claims Resolution Log on the KMAP Bulletins page documents the MCO system status for policy implementation and any associated reprocessing completion dates once the policy is implemented.

For the changes resulting from this provider bulletin, view the updated HCBS Frail Elderly Fee-for-Service Provider Manual, Section 7020, page 7-2; Section 8400 8-12, 8-15, 8-19, 8-21, 8-23, 8-24, 8-32.
