Sometimes providers make unintentional errors in billing.  If in doubt, double check the service agreement (SA) and other numbers and codes used.  Top 50 Billing Error Reason Codes With Common Resolutions (virginia.gov)

There is a fee for becoming a provider in the MES system, but DBHDS has some funding to cover that fee:  Click for more information or email Jumpstart@dbhds.virginia.gov

Here is some info about Jumpstart funding:

Typically, the therapist would submit an application with the required documents for the Jump-Start Funding.  An application can be approved without identifying and individual to serve.  In the case of TBC, once their application is approved, they can request the State Required fee as an initial invoice and explain that on the narrative form.  No additional fund may be disbursed until one or more individual accepts service from this therapist.

Excerpt from the Jump-Start Program Information
Behavioral Therapeutic Consultation funds are distributed for the state required fee, and then once one individual accepts service, and continues with service delivered. Up to a minimum of three individuals should be served for Jump-Start Funding.
