Doing more to help telehealth services for SHARS

This week TMHP released a statement issuing retroactive and extension dates for SHARS telehealth services.  As part of its continued response to COVID-19, HHSC will provide SHARS Medicaid reimbursement for previously identified telemedicine and telehealth services for March 15, 2020 to May 31, 2020 dates of service.

The telemedicine and telehealth services include those listed in the SHARS Services Provided Through Telemedicine or Telehealth.  For information on requirements necessary for SHARS telehealth services, visit the Onward newsletter posted April 20, 2020:  https://www.onwardlearning.com/blog/shars-telehealth-services-go-live/.

All approved SHARS services listed in the document continue to remain eligible for Medicaid reimbursement.  For more information, call the TMHP Contact Center at 1-800-925-9126 or contact your Onward Client Support Manager at support@onwardlearning.com.   The Onward team is happy to help and support education industry leaders better understand the requirements for SHARS telehealth services and to feel confident in the documentation that is necessary for fully compliant submissions.   If you wish to speak with an Onward sales manager about joining the Onward team, contact Stasia Viator at sales@onwardlearning.com to schedule a complimentary webinar and discussion today!
