2 4.3 Overview Authorizing Services In The Appropriate Network When requesting an authorization, be sure that the member receives care from a provider who participates in the network associated with the member s program. Electronic Authorization System Authorizations may be requested through NaviNet or by submitting a HIPAA 278 transaction through your practice s software. Electronic authorization requests are the preferred method and are quick and easy to perform. To learn more about how to request authorizations electronically access the Customer Care page on NaviNet. For a HIPAA 278 transaction, refer to the Provdier EDI Reference Guide on the Provider Resource Center. Medical Record Review Highmark reserves the right to request and review medical records for visits whether or not preauthorization is required. If such review determines that any or all treatments were not medically necessary, were not billed appropriately, or were not performed, a refund will be requested. If a refund is requested, the practitioner may not bill the member for the services. Utilization Decision Making Highmark makes utilization review decisions based only on appropriateness of care and service and the existence of coverage. They do not reward practitioners, providers, Highmark employees or other individuals conducting utilization review for issuing denials of coverage or service, nor do they provide any financial incentives to utilization management decision makers to encourage denials of coverage. Criteria Used Highmark uses McKesson Health Solution s InterQual criteria in its processes for assessing the medical necessity and appropriateness of health care services. The Interqual criteria are applied to assessment of acute adult, acute pediatric, acute rehabilitative, long-term acute, skilled nursing and home health services. These criteria are applied in conjunction with applicable Highmark Medical Policy, Medicare Advantage Policy, and Highmark Medicare Services Administrative Policy. Note: If you would like more information about the criteria used for determinations, please contact HMS at Continued on next page 2
