2. Relevance to Acute Suicidal Crisis and Mental Health Emergency Billing 

There is no standalone taxonomy code specifically titled 'suicidal crisis'. Instead, suicidal ideation and acute behavioral health emergencies are categorized under broader adult mental health and residential treatment classifications, as reflected in CCC’s updated taxonomy set.

Key clinical conditions that justify Compact Act billing under CCC’s taxonomy structure include: 

  • Acute Suicidal Ideation (SI) 
  • Suicide Attempt (SA)
  • Homicidal Ideation (HI) 
  • Major Depressive Episodes with Suicide Risk
  • PTSD with suicidal behaviors
  • Substance-Induced Mood Disorders with suicidal features
  • Crisis requiring 24/7 structured psychiatric oversight
  • Non-hospital facility offering residential treatment services for substance use disorders.

These conditions are documented by our staff in intake records, supported by a licensed clinician, and ideally signed off by a supervising psychiatrist. CCC is licensed under ASAM levels 3.1, 3.3, and 3.5, qualifying for residential treatment of co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders, including crises involving suicide risk. 

3. Compliance & Documentation Requirements 

  • Ensure all client records for Compact Act billing include language explicitly referencing 'acute suicidal crisis', 'suicidal ideation', or 'psychiatric emergency'.
  • Utilize 261QM0850X as the primary taxonomy code for all suicide-related claims.
  • Confirm that documentation reflects ASAM-compliant treatment levels and includes clinical notes from our qualified professionals.
