As you submit new and renewing treatment plans for your Anthem members, beginning with dates of service January 1, 2014, please request ABA services using H0031, H0032, H2012, H2019 & H2014. For dates of service prior to January 1, 2014, Anthem will continue to process claims with the previously approved CPT codes until December 31, 2013. If you have authorized treatment plans dating after January 1, 2014, we will contact you to change the authorized CPT codes for those plans to the new H codes. A schedule of the new codes and their maximum allowable amounts, effective for dates of service on and after January 1, 2014, will be available online, at our secure provider portal, on or after December 1, 2013.

Any services provided under a current authorization should be billed to match that authorization, except for authorized dates of service on or after January 1, 2014, which we will change to H codes with your assistance. Requests for concurrent reviews and/or new authorizations will reflect the coding changes and should be billed to match what is authorized. Coding other than what is reflected in an authorization for ABA services should not be billed and is not covered.
H0031 Service Definition
Mental Health Assessment by non-physician (Behavioral Health Assessment and Initial Treatment Plan)
Assessment is an integrated series of procedures conducted with an individual to provide the basis for the development of an effective, comprehensive and individualized treatment plan. It is an intensive clinical and psychosocial evaluation of an individual’s mental health and/or co-occurring (mental health/substance abuse) conditions which results in an issuance of an integrated written document. This service may be conducted by an individual or by a multidisciplinary team and includes face-to-face interview contacts with the individual; and may include the individual’s family and/or significant others, collateral contacts and other agencies to determine the individual’s problems and strengths, to identify the disability(ies), and to identify natural supports.
An initial treatment plan, including discharge criteria and/or treatment recommendations is included as part of the assessment.
