General Policies
- Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) members have their behavioral health services paid for by Regional Accountable Entities (RAEs). Regional Accountable entities are managed care entities responsible for covering behavioral health benefits for nearly all Health First Colorado members.
- See Program Rule 8.212 for details about the RAE program, including policy which exempts Health First Colorado members from RAE coverage. Only a small percentage of members meeting very specific criteria will be exempt. Member exemption is determined by the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (the Department).
- Residential services for children or youth in the custody of the Colorado Department of Human Services -Division of Child Welfare or Division of Youth Services are among the members exempted from RAE coverage by Program Rule 8.212.
- See the Department's Regional Accountable Entity web page for details about RAE coverage.
- To verify if a Health First Colorado member's behavioral health services are covered by an RAE, providers must perform a member eligibility query in the Provider Web Portal. Each RAE may have its own similar tool for providers to query member eligibility. Both tools are valid for checking member eligibility.
- The member eligibility query will display whether the RAE is responsible for covering the member's services. If the member is covered by the RAE, all claims for covered behavioral health services must be sent to the RAE for payment.
- All behavioral health providers must be enrolled with Health First Colorado and contracted with the RAE. Providers must contact the RAE which serves their region to begin the enrollment process. Details are available on the Department's Regional Accountable Entity web page.
- Providers who are denied RAE enrollment may not bill Gainwell fee-for-service (FFS) as an alternative reimbursement route. If the provider is denied RAE enrollment, this means that they may not treat Health First Colorado members for services covered by the RAE.
- Providers who are denied RAE enrollment may still render and be reimbursed for services not covered by the RAE.
- Providers must reference Appendix T located on the Billing Manuals web page under the Appendices drop-down menu for a list of RAE-covered services and conditions.
- Billing information included below is only applicable to services rendered to children or youth in the custody of the Colorado Department of Human Services -Division of Child Welfare or Division of Youth Services, who are not covered by the RAE.
Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs)
Providers must be enrolled as a Health First Colorado provider in order to:
- Treat a Health First Colorado member
- Submit claims for payment to the Health First Colorado
Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs) provide comprehensive mental health treatment to children and adolescents (youth) who, due to mental illness, substance abuse, or severe emotional disturbance, need treatment that can most effectively be provided in a residential treatment facility. PRTF services are provided under the direction of a physician. The member must be:
- Health First Colorado eligible
- Determined to need PRTF care by an independent team. The team shall certify that:
- Ambulatory care resources available in the community do not meet the treatment needs of the client.
- Proper treatment of the client’s mental illness condition requires services on an inpatient basis under the direction of a physician.
- The services can reasonably be expected to improve the client’s mental health or prevent further regression.
Providers should refer to the Code of Colorado Regulations, Program Rules (10 C.C.R. 2505-10), for specific information when providing psychiatric residential treatment.
The client shall be not be eligible to receive services when:
- 1. The client is no longer able to benefit from the service or is no longer progressing towards goals.
- The client is absent without leave in excess of 24 consecutive hours or has been removed from the facility and placed in non-PRTF services.
- The Interdisciplinary Team determines that the client has attained treatment goals.
Billing Information
Refer to the General Provider Information Manual located on the Billing Manuals web page under the General Provider Information drop-down menu for general billing information. Health First Colorado benefits are provided through Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs) to enrolled members who reside in the facility on a per-diem basis.
PRTF Benefits
PRTFs are responsible for providing clinical services to members residing in their facilities.
The following code can be billed for services provided in a PRTF:
| Code | Description |
| 0911 |
Treatment in a PRTF, per diem (1 unit per day) |
The PRTF rate is inclusive of all services provided to the child in the facility by facility staff as part of the child’s Plan of Care. Services provided outside the facility or by non-facility staff are billed separately as fee-for-service. Examples of fee-for-service claims that may be billed separately may include Dental or Vision services.
The Residential Provider Billing and Policy webinar recording is available online and has related slides.
Prior Authorization Requirements
PRTF services must be provided and billed only by a licensed and certified PRTF provider. PRTF Independent Teams complete a Level of Care Review and submit it to the referring agency for prior authorization. PRTFs are not required to submit any prior authorization documents to the fiscal agent.
PRTFs outside of Colorado must work with the Regional Accountable Entities to submit for a prior authorization for services for our members.
