Ohio Rev. Code § 5164.761: Beta testing of updates to billing codes or payment rates.

Before the department of medicaid or department of mental health and addiction services updates medicaid billing codes or medicaid payment rates for community behavioral health services as part of the behavioral health redesign, the departments shall conduct a beta test of the updates. Any medicaid provider of community behavioral health services may volunteer to participate in the beta test. An update may not begin to be implemented outside of the beta test until at least half of the medicaid providers participating in the beta test are able to submit under the beta test a clean claim for community behavioral health services that is properly adjudicated not later than thirty days after the date the clean claim is submitted.
