This is an update to a banner message that first appeared on the November 14, 2008, Remittance and Status (R&S) Report about the adoption by the CSHCN Services Program of 2007 Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes for reimbursement to ambulatory surgical centers. The banner message did not mention claims reprocessing. Affected claims will be reprocessed, and payments will be adjusted accordingly. No action on the part of the provider is necessary.

Details of the specific 2007 HCPCS procedure codes reimbursement rates for ambulatory surgical centers appears on this website in an article posted on November 7, 2008, and will be published in the February 2009 CSHCN Services Program Provider Bulletin, No. 69.
