What happened to the CBH Modifier? What is the Blanket Authorization Number (BAN)?
To minimize confusion with the Pricing and Information Modifiers and to ease data collection, CBH has changed the field name and the numbering system which identify unauthorized services. Now each unauthorized service has a designated Blanket Authorization Number or BAN. The BAN is not contingent on provider type but is instead unique to the CBH Level of Care in combination with the Procedure Code and Pricing and Information Modifiers. BANs and their corresponding Level of Care information may be viewed on this site in the revised CBH Level of Care HIPAA Codes. Providers must refer to their Schedule A Forms for appropriate billing combinations, including BANs.
