On-Demand Training Medicaid Billing, Clinical Practices, and Service Delivery Changes Guidance

Over the last ten years, the OASAS service delivery system has seen significant changes related to Medicaid billing, clinical practices, treatment planning and coordination of service delivery.   

Key changes include the integration of behavioral health into managed care plans, updates to Medicaid State-Plan Amendment and 1115 Waiver, as well as modifications to OASAS regulations, clinical practice guidelines and release of updated protocols from the Office of Medicaid Inspector General. 

To help providers navigate these changes, a series of recordings is available that can be taken on demand at any time. Each session offers practice guidance aimed at ensuring compliance, improving care and strengthening service delivery.
