The following information changed on the MHCP Provider website:

We updated the MHCP Provider Manual:

  • COVID-19 – Coronavirus (COVID-19):
    • Under COVID-19 Testing under the Covered Services Changes and Modifications heading, we updated policy to allow 8 packages of over-the-counter tests to be dispensed per month and at one time. Additional tests require authorization.
    • Under COVID-19 Testing under the Billing heading, we explained how to bill for over-the-counter tests.
    • Under Vaccines under the Billing heading, we added CPT vaccine code 91305 and CPT administration codes 0051A - 0054A for children 12 years and older to the COVID-19 Vaccine and Administration Codes chart.
  • Immunizations & Vaccinations – Immunization and Vaccine Benefits Codes for Adults – We updated the seasonal influenza vaccine list for the 2021-2022 season. We removed code 90653 from the 2021-2022 Seasonal Flu Vaccines table and added it to the Vaccines and Toxoids for Adults
