  12. Prior Authorization General Information • The STATE plan requirements for Prior Authorization are the same for both Indiana Care Select and Traditional Medicaid (FFS) • The CMO’s PA departments use OMPP approved criteria in addition to the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC), PA guidelines, and Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) bulletins, banner pages, and newsletters when considering PA requests • The CMO’s PA Departments review all medical, facility, or dental PA requests

  13. Prior Authorization General Information • Decisions to authorize, modify, or deny a PA is based on medical reasonableness, necessity, and other criteria outlined in 405 IAC 5-3 and reflects the current standards of practice in the provider community • For a full detailed explanation of PA processes and procedures, please refer to Chapter 6 of the IHCP Provider Manual • Out-of-state providers must obtain PA prior to performing services (except emergencies & CMO contracted out-of-state PMPs performing services that don’t require PA)

  14. Prior Authorization PA Helpful Tips • All prior authorizations (PA) are submitted to the member’s health plan on the date of request • Fax the Indiana Prior Review and Authorization Request form along with supporting documents • Web InterChange allows providers to submit non-pharmacy PA requests Note: Prior to contacting the CMO on PA status, providers should verify PA status using web interChange first • Mail – Written requests for PA are submitted using an Indiana Prior Review and Authorization Request form along with supporting documents • View fee schedule at www.indianamedicaid.com to see if a covered service requires PA

  16. Prior Authorization PA Helpful Tips (Cont.) • PA form information left open to interpretation • Please submit legible forms if mailing or faxing • Keep supporting documentation and PA request form together • If faxing, please consider volume and use direct mail as an alternative (please do not batch faxes)  • Make sure PA request form is signed by appropriate authorized provider

  18. Prior Authorization Top PA Suspension/Denied Reasons • Certificate of medical necessity missing/incomplete • Home health plan of care missing/incomplete • Incomplete PA form • Missing physician orders • Clinical documentation missing • Incorrect form submitted

  19. Certification Code Policy The Care Select PMP is responsible for providing and/or overseeing a member’s care during the time the member is linked to that PMP through the PMP assignment process The PMP agrees to provide the necessary primary and preventive health services directly to their assigned members or agrees to refer the member to another health care provider for those services undeliverable by the PMP Each Care Select PMP is assigned a cert code on a quarterly basis This code, in addition to the PMP’s National Provider Identifier (NPI) is needed to allow a specialist or another provider’s claims to be paid when appropriate

  20. Certification Code Policy Policy Description Statements • While it is always preferable that the assigned PMP authorize treatment and provide their NPI and cert code, there may be occasions when this is not possible • Appropriate and designated CMO staff will need to provide this information to another health care provider in order to allow the Care Select member access to appropriate and timely care • The following are specific circumstances in which designated CMO staff may release to another health care provider a member’s PMP’s cert code and NPI before or after a service has been rendered as approved by the State

  21. Certification Code Policy Exceptions • PMP change is still pending after a member has selected a new PMP • Death of PMP • PMP moves out of the region without proper notification to the program • Newly transitioned members into the program who are in need of treatment (i.e. EPSDT) within the first sixty (60) days of enrollment • Member lives in an underserved area and is unable to select a PMP from that area • Other urgent, emergent, or ongoing issues (i.e. dialysis or emergent ER admission) where the member is unable to access necessary services and the assigned PMP is unwilling or unable to provide services or the appropriate referral

  22. Right Choices Program (RCP)Referral Process • ADVANTAGE Health Solutions identifies and monitors RCP members in both ADVANTAGE Care Select and Traditional fee-for-service Medicaid Programs • MDwise Care Select identifies and monitors RCP members in the MDwise Care Select Program • RCP includes members who have shown a pattern of potential mis-utilization or over-utilization of services (for example) • Non-emergent use of the ER • “drug seeking” behavior • Resistance to PCP interventions

  23. Right Choices Program (RCP)Referral Process The RCP is: • Not a loss of benefits • Not a reduction in benefits • Not a punitive action, but is a legal action Note: Members are still eligible for all medically necessary IHCP services. However, those services must be ordered or authorized in writing by the member’s assigned PMP

  24. Right Choices Program (RCP)Referral Process • The RCP identifies members appropriate for assignment and subsequent “lock-in” to: • one Primary Medical Provider (PMP) • one pharmacy and • one hospital • The goal of “lock-in” is to ensure members receive appropriate care and prevent members from mis-utilizing services • Specialty providers receive written authorization from the PMP • The CMO’s add those specialists to the member’s provider list in order for the specialty provider to be reimbursed Note:The RCP Program applies to both members in Traditional Medicaid and Indiana Care Select

  25. Right Choices Program (RCP)Referral Process • The PMP manages the member’s care and determines whether a member requires evaluation or treatment by a specialty provider • Referrals are required by the PMP for most specialty medical providers (except self referral services) • Referrals should be based on medical necessity and not solely on the desire of the member to see a specialist • Emergency services for life threatening or life altering conditions are available at any hospital, but non-emergency services require a referral from the PMP

  26. Right Choices Program (RCP)Referral Process Adding Providers to a Right Choices Member’s Lock In List • Additional providers may be locked-in, either short-term or on an ongoing basis, if the PMP sends a written referral • Providers may be locked-in for one specified date of service or for any defined duration of time, up to one year

  27. Self Referral Behavioral health (except prescriptions) Chiropractic services Dental services (except prescriptions) Diabetes self-management services Family planning services HIV/AIDS targeted case management Home health care Hospice Podiatric services (except prescriptions) Transportation Vision care (except surgery) Waiver services Right Choices Program (RCP)Referral Process

  28. Right Choices Program (RCP)Referral Process Referral Guidelines for the PMP • Referrals must be faxed or mailed • Referrals may be handwritten on letterhead or a prescription pad, however, they must include the following information: • IHCP member’s name • IHCP member’s RID • First and last name and specialty of the physician to whom the member is being referred • Primary lock-in physician’s signature (not that of a staff member) • Date and duration of referral
