For information on LFP Setting Registration Codes, Please refer to Section 26 of the LFP Payment Schedule (starting on page 12).

- ICD-9 Code: L23
- Facility: A facility number is required to submit LFP claims. Obtain the MSP Facility Number for the clinic where services are provided. Enter the facility number in the Provider Record in ClinicAid before submitting claims
If you do not have a facility number, fill out the form here.

📑 According to the LFP Payment Schedule, a physician who has enrolled is eligible to bill for these settings, but they are not required to register for every setting; they can choose which settings to bill under the LFP model. However, if they plan to bill under LFP at a given location, they must register that setting by submitting the appropriate code and must continue using that payment model at that location until they withdraw.
🗓️ After you enrol in the LFP model you must submit annually between Jan 1 and Mar 31
