KMAP BULLETIN: Modifier QL Update

Date: 08/01/18

KMAP GENERAL BULLETIN 18159 (PDF)

Effective with dates of service on and after September 1, 2018, claims with modifier QL will only include the base rate in consideration of payment. Mileage will not be paid.

Note: The effective date of the policy is September 1, 2018. The implementation of State policy by the KanCare managed care organizations (MCOs) may vary from the date noted in the Kansas Medical Assistance Program (KMAP) bulletins. The KanCare Open Claims Resolution Log on the KMAP Bulletins page documents the MCO system status for policy implementation and any associated reprocessing completion dates, once the policy is implemented.
