Reminder: Pre-authorizations for select procedures for Regence MedAdvantage start Sept. 1, 2011
This is a reminder that, beginning Sept. 1, 2011, we're implementing pre-authorization requirements for select medical services for Regence MedAdvantage members. Pre-authorization services are performed to determine if services meet medical necessity criteria, assuring safety, effectiveness and appropriateness of treatment for our members, while better managing cost.
Our July 27 article outlined the services for which Regence MedAdvantage members will need pre-authorization if the service date is scheduled for Sept. 1, 2011, or later. In the past month, we've been reviewing the specified treatments and coordinating with providers.
If you have any questions please call your Individual sales executive or Individual and Medicare Sales Producer Support at 1 (800) 557-0555.
