2 5.0 Utilization Management 5.1 Utilization Management Utilization Management (UM) is the process of influencing the continuum of care by evaluating the necessity and efficiency of health care services and affecting patient care decisions through assessments of the appropriateness of care. The UM department helps to assure prompt delivery of medicallyappropriate health care services to Passport Health Plan members and subsequently monitors the quality of care. Medically Necessary or Medical Necessity means Covered Services which are medically necessary as defined under 907 KAR 3:130 or other applicable Kentucky law or regulation, and provided in accordance with 42 CFR , including children s services pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1396d(r). All Passport Health Plan participating providers are required to obtain prior authorization from the Plan s UM department for inpatient services and specified outpatient services listed in Section 5.3, Authorization Requirements. Failure to submit an authorization or failure to submit an authorization in a timely manner may result in a denial of services. An authorization is not a guarantee of benefits. Member eligibility should be verified for every request of service. The UM department is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST, except holidays. All requests for authorization of services may be received during these hours of operation by calling or faxing: Department Phone Number Fax Number General Number (800) (502) Concurrent Review (502) (502) Retrospective Review (502) (502) Home Health (502) (502) DME (502) (502) Therapies/Pain Management (502) (502) Cosmetics (502) Request can be sent via confidential to: Appeals (502) (502) High Dollar Radiology Administered by MedSolutions or on-line authorization at After business hours or on holidays, a provider can leave a message and a representative will return the call the next business day. Passport Health Plan provides the opportunity for the provider to discuss a decision with the Medical Page 2 of 39

3 Director, to ask questions about a utilization management issue, or to seek information from the nurse reviewer about the Utilization Management process and the authorization of care by calling Utilization Management at (800) Because of frequent changes in member eligibility for Medicaid coverage, providers should verify continued eligibility via the Plan s web site, or by calling the IVR or Provider Services at (800) Review Criteria/Standards for Review Passport Health Plan s Utilization Management (UM) department is charged with ensuring that the Plan s members use their benefits appropriately. Passport s UM Department uses InterQual Criteria during the review process. In the event InterQual Criteria is not available for a specific request, the reviewer may use internal medical policies which are reviewed and approved by actively practicing practitioners in the community. The Partnership Council approves both the use of InterQual Criteria and Medical Polices. Criteria are only made available to participating and non-participating providers as allowed under copyright limitations and trademark considerations. At the request of the practitioner, the Passport UM Department, or the Chief Medical Officer, will provide a copy of up to three (3) InterQual Criteria guidelines. If the guidelines are not available for distribution, or the number of guidelines exceeds the copyright limit, the practitioner has the option to request the guideline be read over the telephone, or review the guideline at Passport Health Plan. Internal Medical policies are communicated to providers via the Provider Newsletter or the Passport Health Plan web site, Providers may request a copy of a policy at any time from the Passport UM Department or the Chief Medical Officer. Durable medical equipment is reviewed utilizing Medicaid and Medicare guidelines as well as any applicable Passport Health Plan internal medical policies. Medicare and Medicaid criteria/guidelines are shared with providers upon request. These requests may be made by contacting the UM Department or the Chief Medical Officer. Criteria are distributed to providers who have Medicare/Medicaid practitioner numbers issued by state and federal entities. 5.3 Authorization Requirements The Passport UM department hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Requests not meeting the established medical necessity criteria will be referred to Passport s Medical Director for further review and evaluation. When requesting a review, at a minimum, documentation must include: The member s name and Passport Health Plan ID number. The diagnosis for which the treatment or testing procedure is being sought. Other treatment or testing methods that have been tried, their duration, and any outcomes. Additional clinical information as applicable to the requested service.

Requests for prior authorization of elective inpatient services should be received prior to the date the requested service will be performed. Passport Health Plan will accept the hospital s or the attending physician s request for prior authorization of elective hospital admissions; however, neither party should assume that the other has obtained prior authorization. For an urgent or emergent admission, the facility must notify the plan within one business day of the admission. For weekend admissions to a hospital or for services delivered on the weekend or after normal business hours, authorization must be obtained within one business day of the admission or service being provided. If the member s condition or results of evaluation and testing meet inpatient criteria after the 23-hour observation period, the stay will be converted to inpatient beginning with the observation stay admission date.

Those services are covered by the Kentucky Medicaid Program. Passport Health Plan is responsible for costs of professional services, such as physician or therapist services that are not part of the routine facility service. After a member is in a nursing facility for 31 days, the disenrollment process begins for that member. Passport Health Plan s responsibility for those nonfacility services continues for any of its members while they are still enrolled with the Plan. After the Kentucky Medicaid Program completes the managed care disenrollment process and reinstates the member in the fee-for-service Medicaid program, the Plan no longer has financial responsibility for any services for that Medicaid recipient. To obtain skilled-nursing facility authorization, please call the DMS-contracted review entity. 5.6 Outpatient Services For authorization of select outpatient services listed in Section 5.3, Authorization Requirements, the PCP/specialist notifies Passport Health Plan via the online authorization system, telephonically or by fax.
