Providers must review the fact sheet and implement billing and service changes consistent with the new coverage stance and effective date to avoid claim denials. Providers should update their billing practices and clinical documentation to reflect that equine therapy is no longer covered and that movement therapy rates have been reduced as of the effective date.
