ODPANN 23-092: Community Participation Support (CPS) and Day Habilitation Teleservices Codes

Teleservices are the delivery of direct services using remote technology. Teleservices were first approved in the Office of Developmental Programs’ (ODP) waivers on January 1, 2023 and preserved the flexibilities initially approved under Appendix K for select waiver services, including CPS and Day Habilitation. Under the Appendix K approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) during the Federal Public Health Emergency as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, providers utilized the same procedure codes for teleservices that are used for the delivery of in-person services. This guidance is obsolete as of November 11, 2023 with the end of Appendix K flexibilities. Providers who currently or in the future will provide CPS and/or Day Habilitation teleservices must add teleservices to each service location where this method of service delivery will be provided. Information about how to do this is available in the HCSIS Learning Management System (LMS) under “Service Management” in a document titled Provider Updates Tip Sheet 06162018. For more information,  please review ODPANN 23-092.
