Dear Amanda,
On June 20, 2023 the Board of Supervisors executed County Agreement No. 23-295
("Agreement")with Kings View ("Contractor") for integrated mental health and
supportive housing services to adults who are homeless, or who are at imminent risk of
becoming homeless, and have a severe mental illness and/or co-occurring disorder, in an effort
to enable this population to live in the community and to avoid homelessness, hospitalization
and/or jail detention.
Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) established County hourly rates based on
classification which was used to determine rates for Contracted providers. After the agreement
was drafted, DHCS established a different reimbursement rate for Supplemental/Add On service
codes. Supplemental Service/Add On service codes are codes that describe additional and
simultaneous services that were provided to the beneficiary during the visit or codes that
describe the additional severity of the person's served condition. These codes cannot be billed
independently. They must be billed with a/another (primary) procedure.
The Supplemental/Add On service codes are not currently part of the Agreement. Per Article 25-
General Terms, the Department of Behavioral Health Director or designee has the authority to
make changes to the service rates in Exhibit J that are needed to accommodate state mandated
rate increase that do not add or alter any other items or conditions of the Agreement. The DBH
Director will be adding the supplemental/add on service codes to the Agreement so that
Contractor can bill for these additional services as applicable.
The following Supplemental/Add On service codes are hereby added to Exhibit J and are
contingent on the guidance and requirements stated by DHCS.
