Coverage Criteria

This clinical policy is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute medical advice, medical treatment, or medical care. It is not intended to dictate how providers must practice medicine. Providers are expected to exercise professional medical judgment to determine the most appropriate care for members and remain solely responsible for clinical decisions and treatment. Members should consult their treating physician for individualized diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Providers referenced in this policy are independent contractors who exercise independent judgment; they are not agents or employees of the Health Plan. Use of this policy by providers, members, or their representatives is subject to the terms and conditions of applicable contracts and coverage documents.

Provider Actions and Requirements

Prior Authorization

Prior Authorization Required

Prior authorization may be required for services described in this policy. Providers should obtain any required prior authorization before rendering services to avoid claim denials or delays.

Check member-specific benefits and prior authorization requirements via the payer portal or provider services.
Authorization must be obtained when the service dates of service fall within the plan's authorization window.

Documentation Required

Provider Responsibility and Documentation

Providers must exercise independent professional judgment in the care of members and are responsible for all aspects of documentation, billing, and coding to support medical necessity. The Health Plan does not direct clinical decisions and is not liable for the provider’s medical judgment.

Document clinical indications, relevant diagnostic testing, consultations, and treatment plans in the medical record.
Submit complete and accurate claims with appropriate CPT/HCPCS, diagnosis codes, and any required documentation to support medical necessity.

Note

Coverage Subject to Plan Terms

Coverage determinations are made in the context of the member’s benefit plan. This policy provides guidance on medical necessity but does not replace the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of the member’s coverage documents.

Verify member eligibility, benefit limits, exclusions, and cost-share prior to service.
State Medicaid or Medicare rules and any applicable NCDs/LCDs take precedence where they conflict with this policy.

Background

This clinical policy was developed by appropriately experienced and licensed health care professionals based on a review of accepted standards of medical practice and relevant evidence. It is intended as a guide to medical necessity to assist coverage decisions and should not replace individual clinical judgment.

Where applicable, state Medicaid provisions or Medicare National and Local Coverage Determinations take precedence over this policy; reviewers should consult the relevant state Medicaid manual or the CMS website for NCDs, LCDs, and Medicare Coverage Articles prior to applying the criteria set forth here.
