CLINICS AND OTHER OUTPATIENT FACILITY SERVICES HANDBOOK<br />
trist. Encounters that take place on the same day at a single location with more than one health-care<br />
professional or multiple encounters with the same health-care professional constitute a single visit,<br />
except where one of the following conditions exists:<br />
• After the first encounter, the client suffers illness or injury requiring additional diagnosis or<br />
treatment.<br />
• The FQHC client has a medical visit <strong>and</strong> an other health visit such as a qualified clinical psychologist,<br />
clinical social worker, other health professional for mental health services, a dentist, a dental<br />
hygienist, an optometrist, or a THSteps medical checkup.<br />
All services provided that are incidental to the encounter, including developmental screening, must be<br />
included in the total charge for the encounter. They are not billable as a separate encounter.<br />
Registered nurses may not be the sole provider of a medical checkup in an FQHC. If immunizations are<br />
given outside of a THSteps medical checkup, procedure codes given in the THSteps section of this<br />
manual should be used. These procedure codes are informational only, <strong>and</strong> are not payable.<br />
To be reimbursed for Case Management for Children <strong>and</strong> Pregnant Women, an FQHC must be<br />
approved as a case management services provider by the DSHS Case Management Branch.<br />
An annual family planning examination is allowed once per state fiscal year (September 1 through<br />
August 31), per client, per provider. An FQHC may be reimbursed for up to three family planning<br />
encounters per client, per year, regardless of the reason for the encounter. The three encounters may<br />
include any combination of general family planning encounters, an annual family planning examination,<br />
or intrauterine devices. Family planning services must be submitted with the most appropriate<br />
evaluation <strong>and</strong> management (E/M) procedure code <strong>and</strong> one of the following family planning diagnosis<br />
codes:<br />

Procedure code 58300 must be submitted on the same claim as J7300 <strong>and</strong> J7302. Procedure code 58300<br />
will process as informational only. Only the annual family planning examination requires modifier FP.<br />
All other family planning visits do not require the FP modifier. Claims filed incorrectly may be denied.<br />
FQHC providers may receive DSHS Family Planning Program reimbursement for Texas Women’s<br />
Health Program (TWHP) wrap-around services that are rendered during a visit where the primary<br />
purpose of the visit is not related to contraception <strong>and</strong> is not reimbursed by the TWHP.<br />
FQHC providers may receive DSHS Family Planning Program reimbursement for the following services<br />
that are rendered to TWHP clients when the primary diagnosis is not related to contraception:<br />
• Follow-up Pap tests. To receive DSHS Family Planning Program reimbursement, DSHS contractors<br />
must file a separate DSHS Family Planning Program claim with diagnosis code 6229. DSHS<br />
contractors may be reimbursed for the Pap test, an appropriate counseling code, <strong>and</strong> the appropriate<br />
visit code.<br />
• Follow-up visits for sexually transmitted disease/infection (STD/STI) testing. To receive DSHS Family<br />
Planning Program reimbursement for a visit that is strictly for the purposes of STD/STI testing for<br />
a TWHP client, DSHS contractors must file a separate DSHS Family Planning Program claim with<br />
a diagnosis code of V016. DSHS contractors may be reimbursed for STD/STI tests <strong>and</strong> STD/STIrelated<br />
services.<br />
