Procedure and diagnosis codes undergo annual and quarterly revision by CMS, the American Medical Association and NCCI. As these revisions are made public, Tufts Health Plan will update its system to reflect these changes during the second calendar quarter of Payment policies will be updated to reflect the addition and replacement of procedure codes, where applicable.

3 Changes to Spinal Conditions Management Program Effective for dates of service on or after August 1, 2015, Tufts Health Plan will implement changes to its prior authorization program for management of spinal conditions, including spine surgery and interventional pain management. Tufts Health Plan has selected National Imaging Associates, Inc. (NIAMagellan) to provide utilization management for spinal surgeries and interventional pain management. Beginning August 1, 2015, providers must request prior authorization for cervical and lumbar spinal surgeries and interventional pain management through NIAMagellan at rather than through Tufts Health Plan s Precertification Department. Providers may no longer fax authorization requests for those services to Tufts Health Plan as of this date. For procedures performed in an inpatient setting, an inpatient notification will continue to be required according to the current process. Using evidence-based criteria and guidelines, NIAMagellan will review coverage requests and provide authorizations for the above services, as appropriate. For specific procedure codes requiring prior authorization beginning August 1, 2015, refer to the Spinal Conditions Management Program in the Clinical Resources section at. Note: Effective for dates of service on or after August 1, 2015, thoracic spine procedures will no longer require prior authorization. These changes will apply to Massachusetts and Rhode Island commercial plans, with the exception of Tufts Medicare Complement, Tufts Medicare Supplement Plan, USFHP, commercial PPO plans with the PHCS network, and CareLink SM. Tufts Health Public Plans, Tufts Medicare Preferred HMO and Tufts Health Plan SCO plans are also excluded. ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATES Tufts Health Plan Now Offers Online Claim Submission Tufts Health Plan now offers online claim submission to its providers through MD On-Line, now part of ABILITY Network. This option is available for professional claims only for all Tufts Health Plan products. If you are already registered with MDOL, you can add Tufts Health Plan as a payer. If you are not yet registered, call MDOL at and mention that you are a Tufts Health Plan provider. All questions about registration should be directed to MDOL. Claims that require supporting documentation cannot be submitted electronically and providers should continue to submit these claims as they do today. Provider-Specific Cost Share Information for Members of Tiered Products Contracted Tufts Health Plan providers can view their specific cost share information for members of Tufts Health Plan s commercial tiered products through the 270/271 Eligibility Inquiry/Response Transaction. In addition, registered users of our secure Provider website are now able to access a provider s specific cost share information by entering the provider s NPI in the Eligibility and Benefits Inquiry tool. Previously, that inquiry returned the cost share for all tiers. If you have questions about this new functionality, please call Provider Services at ICD-10 Program Update ICD-10 is still on track for a compliance date of October 1, Tufts Health Plan continues to move forward with its commitment to be ICD-10 compliant. For more information about ICD-10, refer to the ICD-10 Resources page at. 3
4 PLANS New Plan Offering: Lifespan Premier Choice Effective July 1, 2015, Tufts Health Plan, in association with Lifespan, will be offering Lifespan Premier Choice. Lifespan Premier Choice is a tiered product and is available only to residents of Rhode Island. Providers are tiered based on member utilization, areas of specialization and other criteria. To support providers existing practice and referral patterns, providers are tiered at the integrated provider level. All physicians and hospitals within the same contracted provider system are placed within the same tier. Member cost share varies by tier, with the lowest cost share applied to providers in Tier 1. If you have any questions about Lifespan Premier Choice, please call Provider Services at Tufts Health Freedom Plan Tufts Health Plan and Granite Healthcare Network are proud to announce the launch of a New Hampshire-based health insurance company, Tufts Health Freedom Plan. Tufts Health Freedom Plan will offer an array of health plans for employers and their employees. The five Granite Healthcare Network systems Catholic Medical Center, Concord Hospital, LRGHealthcare, Southern New Hampshire Health System and Wentworth-Douglass Health System will form the core of the Tufts Health Freedom Plan provider network. Tufts Health Plan is currently expanding the provider network to the New Hampshire area and is working directly with Granite Healthcare Network to enroll providers in the network. If you know other providers who may be interested in joining Tufts Health Plan as a participating provider, you can begin the credentialing and contracting application process by going to tuftshealthplan.com/freedom. For additional information about Tufts Health Freedom Plan, you may also call us at , Monday Friday, 8 a.m. 5 p.m. Coverage for Methadone Maintenance Treatment Tufts Health Plan will cover methadone maintenance treatment for all fully insured Massachusetts group plans effective July 1, GIC Plan Changes Effective July 1 Effective on the plan renewal date of July 1, 2015, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission (GIC) will make significant changes to its requirements for GIC members covered under Navigator by Tufts Health Plan TM. Beginning July 1, the Navigator plan for GIC members will move from a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan to a Point of Service (POS) plan. Members will be required to select a Primary Care Provider (PCP) and to obtain a referral for most specialty services. Tufts Health Plan and the GIC are committed to helping members understand these new requirements, and current GIC Navigator members have already been notified of these changes. For many members who did not previously have a PCP, a PCP has been assigned based on providers they have seen in the past or geographic proximity. A process is in place for members who wish to change their assigned PCP. GIC Navigator members will receive new ID cards indicating their copayment amounts effective July 1, Note: Tufts Health Plan Spirit is not subject to the PCP and referral requirements. Providers are reminded to check member eligibility, benefits and cost-share amounts using Tufts Health Plan s secure Provider website or other self-service channels, even for GIC members seen on a regular basis. Tufts Health Plan Medicare Preferred Part C EOBs Now Required by CMS As a reminder, beginning in 2014, CMS requires all Medicare Advantage Organizations to send Part C Explanations of Benefits (EOB) to its members. The EOB provides information to members on the medical services they received. The EOB includes specific claim details, including the provider who performed the service, the date of the service, the procedure and the charges. The EOB also displays cost-share information, including any copayment and deductible amounts, as well as the member s annual out-of-pocket accumulation totals. Tufts Health Plan Medicare Preferred continues to assist members who have questions about their EOB. Providers who have questions about Part C EOBs can call Tufts Health Plan Medicare Preferred Provider Relations at
