Effective January 1, 2023, Alabama Medicaid will increase the annual physician office visit maximum to 32
for Medicaid recipients receiving cancer treatment during the calendar year (January - December). This
increase will be available for each calendar year in which the recipient is receiving cancer treatment and is
applicable for all cancers.
To qualify for this increase in annual physician office visits,
1. The claim must include one of the following informational procedure codes to identify the treatment stage:
• 3300F: American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) state documented and reviewed (ONC)
• 3301F: Cancer stage documented in medical record as metastatic and reviewed (ONC)
• S0353: Treatment planning and care coordination management for cancer initial treatment
• S0354: Treatment planning and care coordination management for cancer established patient with a
change in regimen
(Failure to provide one of the required informational procedure codes will cause the recipient to not be
eligible for the 32 visits.)
2. A cancer diagnosis, within the current calendar year, must be in the recipient’s claims history.
Additionally, medical documentation to support the diagnosis and treatment(s) must be maintained in the
recipient’s record and provided to the Agency, upon request, in the event of audit.
Providers with billing questions should contact the Gainwell Technologies Provider Assistance Center
