Musculoskeletal procedures
Last Updated on June 14, 2019
eviCore healthcare has been contracted by Security Health Plan to provide prior authorization (PA) review of certain musculoskeletal services for dates of service (DOS) May 1, 2019 and forward.
These authorizations will be for members enrolled in Security Health Plan Commercial, BadgerCare, and Medicare Advantage plans and the Security Administrative Services (SAS) plan for the Marshfield Clinic Health System Employer group. For all other SAS groups please review each member ID card to find the utilization management vendor (e.g. Hines) and prior authorization requirements.
It is the rendering provider’s responsibility to ensure prior authorization requirements are met before a member’s scheduled appointment. If PA requirements are not met, claims could be denied.
Marshfield Clinic rendering providers should contact Security Health Plan to obtain PA for members.
Non-Marshfield Clinic rendering providers should contact eviCore to obtain PA for members, per the guidelines outlined above and in the provider training materials.
Therapy services performed in conjunction with an inpatient stay, 23-hour observation or emergency room visit are not subject to prior authorization requirements.
Authorization is required for:
- Joint Surgeries
- Spine Surgeries
