Tool Description
Search Kernfamilyhealthcare coverage criteria and medical necessity requirements across 21,000+ policies from 170+ payers.
Search a drug (“Wegovy”), a procedure (“knee replacement”), or a policy name, then filter by payer, specialty, policy type, or effective year. Or start from the largest publishers: UnitedHealthcare coverage criteria and Cigna coverage criteria.
Each result links the full policy page, which lists the clinical requirements, covered codes, and effective dates from the source document.
Pair a criteria search with the prior authorization lookup for approval requirements, the timely filing lookup for claim deadlines, the live policy updates feed for the newest payer publications, and payer profiles for contacts and coverage context.
FAQ
Coverage criteria are the specific clinical requirements a payer sets for covering a drug, procedure, or service: diagnoses, symptom duration, prior treatments tried, age limits, and documentation. They are published inside medical policies and clinical criteria documents, and a claim or authorization that does not meet them is denied as not medically necessary.
