§ 20-48-704 — Code system of reimbursement

(a) The conversion to the federally mandated current procedural terminology code system of reimbursement shall take into account the intent of this law to provide sources of funding that cover the costs of services to individuals who choose community-based options, within the adopted and approved eligibility standard, including the prescribed treatment services and all required compliance mandates from the federal and state governments. (b) If the early intervention day treatment or adult developmental day treatment services codes, or both, are excluded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Division of Medical Services shall take all necessary steps to apply to the administration for approval of a service model that will continue to provide an array of community-based service options for children and adults comparable to or greater than those under the present early intervention day treatment and adult developmental day treatment services model.
