In simple words: This code covers training to help people learn job skills through a special program. Each unit of this code is 15 minutes of training.

This code reports prevocational habilitation services provided through a waiver program. One unit represents 15 minutes. Habilitation refers to services that help people retain, learn, or improve skills and functioning for daily living.

Example 1: A young adult with autism receives 30 minutes of prevocational training focusing on social skills for the workplace through a state Medicaid waiver program. This would be billed as two units of T2047., An individual with intellectual disabilities participates in a one-hour session learning basic computer skills as part of a prevocational program authorized by a waiver. This service would be billed as four units of T2047., A teenager with a developmental delay receives 45 minutes of training on how to use public transportation to get to a potential job site, delivered under a prevocational habilitation waiver program. This would be billed as three units of T2047.

Documentation should include the training objectives, a schedule for tracking progress, the total time spent providing the service in 15-minute increments, and details of the specific skills addressed during the session. Documentation of the waiver authorization is also required.

** Habilitation differs from rehabilitation in that it focuses on learning new skills rather than relearning lost skills. Medicaid waivers are authorized methods that states use to deliver and pay for healthcare services in Medicaid and CHIP.
