Healthy Start Standards & Guidelines 2009 204 Chapter 14: Healthy Start Coding Introduction Healthy Start Coding provides information on types and quantities of services at the county and state levels. In the aggregate, Healthy Start codes can show the numbers of people who are at risk, who are in need of particular intensities of service, and who are receiving services that are Healthy Start funded. The Coding of services also provides the opportunity to link intensity and duration of service delivery to outcomes in order to evaluate the effective implementation and impact of Healthy Start services. Coding is critical for monitoring the Healthy Start program. Coding identifies services provided which are reimbursable by Medicaid for eligible women and infants enrolled in the Healthy Start system. The Health Management System (HMS) is used to collect public health service and time data at the program component level for reporting data. At the state-level, data from all the Healthy Start providers is collected and analyzed to support departmental planning, budgeting, management, and administration, as well as reporting to the governor and state legislature.
