How we read this state's schedule
---------------------------------

Schedule has no single effective date; each code has its own Code Eff Date (04/01/2020 or 04/01/2021) and term date 12/31/2078 (see per-rate notes). No provider-tier modifiers. Unit of 15 minutes and prior authorization requirement come from BMS Provider Manual Chapter 519.23 (eff 4/1/2020); combined limit 40 hrs/week and 8 hrs/24 hrs across 97151-97156, 97158. Same schedule also prices non-ABA HCPCS codes (H0031, H0032, H2012, H2014, H2019), excluded here. MCO members follow MCO prior authorization.
