Beacon Health Options and Beacon Health Strategies have agreed to start compensating LADC-I's in Massachusetts as the Masters Level Clinicians that they are. Therefore the previous billing modifier of 'U7' will be replaced with the Masters License designation of 'HO'. This was achieved through the efforts of Russell Garland, Director of Network Operations for MBHP.

6 年Update: They allegedly agreed but as of this week my PaySpan shows that sessions I performed on 7/30 & 8/6 are not reflecting any rate change. The difference is $20.00 to $30.00 dollars “per” session. Therefore, starting Monday I will no longer be accepting new clients from either Beacon until this is resolved.
