CBH clinicians, agencies, CSB’s, and hospitals are listed in the Provider Directory. Information includes, but is not limited to: provider name, address, phone, and office hours.
The Directory is intended to reflect our current network and to provide another avenue for our providers and members to make informed referral decisions.
13
Referral Process
CBH employs a team of customer service representatives to provide referrals and eligibility verification to our members and our providers.
Providers and members are encouraged to visit the PSHP online directory at www.pshpgeorgia.com or visit the CBH directory at www.cenpaticoga.com (which is currently in its final stages of development).
CBH refers to in-network, or actively participating, providers and facilities.
14
CBH recognizes the uniqueness of each member, their needs, and treatment requests.
Consideration of a member’s race, country of origin, native language, social class, religion, mental or physical abilities, heritage, acculturation, age, gender, sexual orientation and other characteristics should be included when developing their treatment plan.
CBH requests that providers share their languages spoken other than English, handicap accessibility, and treatment specialties with us so that we can tailor each referral to best meet our member’s needs.
Office sites should have posted and printed materials in English, Spanish, or other prevailing languages within the region.

Outpatient Treatment Report (OTR)
The initial six (6) visits of outpatient psychotherapy (CPT CODES 90804) do not require pre-authorization but do count against the member’s benefit limitations. Billing codes must be Covered Behavioral Health Services.
To approve all sessions beyond the initial six (6) will require that the provider submit an Outpatient Treatment Report (OTR). The form is in the back of the provider manual.
The OTR MUST be completed in its entirety for consideration. This includes the five (5) axis diagnoses as well as all other clinical information.
The OTR’s can be faxed to CBH or completed online for clinical review and additional sessions will be approved based upon medical necessity.
CBH WILL NOT retroactively approve sessions. Treatment must occur within the dates on the authorization. Any changes must be sent to CBH prior to the sessions occurring.
Failure to submit a timely OTR can result in delays in authorization and may result in payment denials.

Claims Submission
What is a Clean Claim? It’s a claim received by CBH for adjudication in a nationally accepted format in compliance with standard coding guidelines and which requires no further information, adjustment, or alteration by the provider.
It is critical that we have current and correct information to assure claims payment. This includes; W-9, Medicaid Number, Service Address, Tax ID #, & Billing name and address.
Ensure the member is effective on date of service, the service is a covered behavioral health service under the member’s benefit, and all CBH referral & authorization processes were followed and approved.
