Although prior authorizations for inpatient and outpatient medical services are not required, providers may voluntarily request a pre-service review of a proposed service, procedure, pharmacy medication, medical trial, or other services/items for assessment of plan benefit coverage. ODBIs help members and providers make decisions about care options. Please include all relevant medical records and/or treatment plans.
Please fill out the form in its entirety and include all relevant clinical documentation to support the request
Authorization, Notification & ODBI Form: Authorization | Organizational Determination Request Form
Pharmacy PA Form: Prior Authorization Form for Prescription Drugs
Although most services do not require prior authorization, the service may still undergo a post-service utilization management (UM) review. These reviews apply to services after they have occurred. Post-service claims for covered services may be pended for review to determine whether the service or drug was covered under the member’s benefit plan, medically necessary and/or submitted for the appropriate level of care (note: a pre-service ODBI can be requested as a pre-service courtesy review). Please note, additional medical records or documentation may be required and requested to complete the review.
During utilization review, we ensure the service is a covered benefit for the member and is not a plan exclusion. We consult the coverage policy and follow InterQual clinical criteria.
The InterQual® guidelines are used by our utilization management team to help assess whether a given medical condition and known or represented circumstances of a case support medical service(s) as the most appropriate treatment, or whether the medical condition/circumstances presented could be appropriately addressed with an alternative treatment. Use the self-registration tool at the link to create a login and view the criteria. Individuals without an email address should contact the plan to receive the criteria information via mail.
