1 PROVIDER REFERENCE MANUAL KENTUCKY MANAGED HEALTH CARE PROGRAM (MHCP) (800) Coventry has developed this manual for Network Providers participating in the Coventry MHCP to assist in understanding the provider s role and responsibility under the MHCP. As a Coventry participating provider in the MHCP, this program brings increased opportunity for business to render medical care to injured workers. This program is designed to assist workers compensation insurers in controlling health care costs while maintaining quality medical standards. NETWORK OPTIONS Coventry uses this Provider Reference Manual for its Fully Bundled KY MHCP. In addition, Coventry leases its Network to customers (Network Only) to use in their certified KY MHCP. This book is designed to supply the provider with information about which entity to contact in support of either program. Network Participation - Providers may contact the Coventry MHCP, by calling the toll-free number at the top of the page to verify network participation, ask questions about the MHCP services and learn about Coventry customers using the MHCP. This toll-free number is available 24 hours a day. After normal business hours, you may leave a message and you will be contacted during the next business day. All provider questions relating to Network participation, rates for PPO services or changes to Provider Information, Ftins or other demographic detail should be directed to Coventry s Network Call Center at Fully Bundled When Coventry is the certified entity, calls related to utilization review, case management, complaints and grievances should be sent to Coventry. Questions relating to eligibility, compensability or payment will be sent to the Adjuster. Network Only When the client is the certified entity, other vendors are providing utilization review and case management. All questions related to these services in addition to complaints and grievances, eligibility, compensability or payment should be directed to the Carrier or Adjuster.
2 CARRIER VOLUNTARY PROGRAM MANDATORY FOR INJURED WORKERS WHEN SELECTED Carrier participation in the Coventry MHCP is voluntary; however, once an insured elects to use the program, injured workers are required to receive treatment from the MHCP. For those customers using the MHCP, there are limited circumstances, as described further down in this document, where access outside the MHCP is allowed. The Certified entity must supply the injured worker with communication about how to use the MHCP. Each certified entity is different. For Coventry, we supply Injured Workers with an Employee Notice to explain the rules and responsibilities under the MHCP. A copy of the Coventry Employee Notice is available upon request. For copies of documents that other certified entities supply to their Injured Workers, please contact the adjuster. DIRECTION Insurers who have elected to use the Coventry MHCP must actively channel injured workers to participating Network providers. Insurers use various ways to channel, including: Through worksite posters Through Coventry s website at Through the Employee Notice distributed to the injured worker at the time of injury. Once the injured worker is off work, insurers work with the injured workers to select a Gatekeeper physician. Injured workers may choose any gatekeeper from within the MHCP. Once chosen, the carrier confirms the gatekeeper by sending the injured worker an ID card. For copies of documents that other certified entities supply to their Injured Workers, please contact the adjuster. GATEKEEPER PROVIDERS Gatekeeper physicians are physicians and surgeons, psychologists, optometrists, dentist, podiatrists, and osteopathic and chiropractic practitioners acting within the scope of their license issued by the Commonwealth. Gatekeeper responsibilities include: Acting as a gatekeeper physician with primary responsibility for treatment of the workers compensation injury; and, Maintaining a treatment plan for the injured worker in accordance with 803 KAR 25:096(6); and, Agreeing to the terms and conditions of the MHCP; and Referring to MHCP providers for specialty care or diagnostic services or to non-network services if an MHCP provider specialty is not available. NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
3 To ensure that all parties achieve maximum benefits through this program, MHCP participating providers must: Accept the contract rate as payment in full. See injured workers as soon as possible.
