ODMHSAS is proposing a rate increase of three percent (3%) for psychotherapy services provided by licensed behavioral health professionals and behavioral health licensure Candidates in outpatient behavioral health clinics. The current rate methodology for psychotherapy provided in outpatient behavioral health clinics is to reimburse at payment rates which in the aggregate equal to 71.75% of the 2007 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. With this proposed 3 percent (3%) increase, behavioral health clinics would continue to not exceed the upper limit of 71.75% of the 2007 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. The estimated budget impact for SFY2019 is $3,826,697 total; $1,475,957 state share.
