The department shall pay providers for authorized services according to the established Medicaid rates, as referenced in § 67:16:02:01.01. Eligible early intervention services are reimbursed at the Medicaid rate. Rates for early intervention services that are not eligible Medicaid services and therefore do not have a Medicaid rate, are as provided in this section. Except as identified under § 24:14:04:10, funds under this article must be used to provide payment for the provision of early intervention services that meet the requirements under §§ 24:14:08:01 to 24:14:08:20, inclusive. Rates identified are for a 15-minute unit of service. Fractions of a unit are rounded up to the next unit. A provider may bill for services only if the recipient was present.
