10 Definition: A course of ambulatory behavioral health treatment, other than ambulatory detoxification and withdrawal services, which began prior to the Effective Date of the Behavioral Health Benefit Inclusion in each geographic service area in which services had been provided at least twice during the six months preceding the Behavioral Health Benefit Inclusion Date by the same provider to an Enrollee for the treatment of the same or related a behavioral health condition.
11 90 day transition language prohibits plans from applying utilization review criteria for a period of 90 days from the effective date of the Behavioral Health benefit inclusion in either NYC or the rest of state, respectively. Accordingly, plans must accept existing plans of care. 2 year continuity of care language affirms plans must permit enrollees to continue receiving services from their current provider(s) for Continuous Behavioral Health Episodes of Care (as defined in the Model Contract) for up to 24 months from the date of the Behavioral Health benefit inclusion in either NYC or the rest of state, respectively. Notwithstanding, plans may use OMHapproved UR criteria to review duration and intensity of such episodes of care.
12 Utilization Management: This guidance regards utilization management for ambulatory behavioral health (BH) services that will be effective when the MCOs, including MMCPs, HARPs, and HIV SNPs assume management of these services in the adult Medicaid Managed Care Program. These services include routine outpatient office and clinic care as well as the full range of BH specialty services. MCOs will not use prior authorization for Medicaid BH outpatient office and clinic services as of the implementation of the behavioral health carve-in. MCO responses to the RFQ indicated the intent to minimize use of prior authorization for routine BH outpatient office and clinic services as it has proven an inefficient form of utilization management. In addition, parity requirements prohibit the imposition of non-quantitative treatment limits or benefit exclusions based on medical necessity or medical appropriateness when there are no such limits for similar medical/surgical services.
13 Prior Authorization Request is a Service Authorization Request by the enrollee, or a provider on the enrollee s behalf, for coverage of a new service, whether for a new authorization period or within an existing authorization period, made before such service is provided to the enrollee. Concurrent Review Request is a Service Authorization Request by an enrollee, or a provider on Enrollee s behalf for continued, extended or additional authorized services beyond what is currently authorized by the Contractor within an existing authorization period.
14 OASAS will not allow Plan routine requests for outpatient approvals for admission or continuing stay. Clinic includes Intensive Outpatient Service all admissions to IOS should be reported to the plan. Most programs will use the LOCADTR report to notify.
15 Programs are required to complete a LOCADTR for all admissions within 3 visits. Plans may not require calls, reports or other routine requests for authorization for clinic admission. Programs may be reviewed by plans for clinic admission standards if practices trigger an approved admission review target. An example of this may be that the plan determines anomalies in admissions related to diagnosis. This type of review will occur on a program level.
16 Plans are not allowed to request routine treatment reviews for continued stay. Plans may request additional clinical information for individual or program level that meet an approved review clinic. Examples of this may include an intensity, frequency or duration of treatment that is inconsistent with a diagnosis or a pattern of care that indicates that all members receive the same number and duration of service.
17 There is no routine concurrent review for the purpose of determining discharge. Patients should be discharged when treatment goals are met. 822 regulations allow for ongoing aftercare services for medication management and check-ins for individuals are not in active treatment. Plans may request clinical information for program level clinical review triggers for anomalies in discharge practices. An example of this may be outlier lengths of stay.
18 See OASAS guidance regarding use of LOCATDR tool to inform level of care determinations. OASAS encourages plans to identify individual or program service patterns that fall outside of expected clinical practice but will not permit regular requests for treatment plan updates for otherwise routine outpatient and opioid service utilization; visits per year are within an average expected frequency for OASAS clinic visits. The contractor will allow enrollees to make unlimited self referrals for substance use disorder assessment from participating providers without requiring prior authorization or referral from the enrollee s primary care provider. MMCOs/HARPs must ensure that concurrent review activities do not violate parity law.

23 Plans are not allowed to request routine treatment reviews for continued stay. Plans may request additional clinical information for individual or program level that meet an approved review clinic. Examples of this may include admissions for other than opioid dependence.
24 Plans are not allowed to request routine treatment reviews for continued stay. Plans may request additional clinical information for individual or program level that meet an approved review clinic. Examples of this may include individual or program level pick-up schedules that are outliers or inconsistent with patient functioning.

Programs must inform the plan of an admission to this level of care, most programs will send the LOCADTR report programs should talk with plans about their process and expectations.
29 Programs are required to complete a LOCADTR for all admissions within 3 visits. Plans may not require calls, or other routine requests for authorization for clinic admission. Programs may be reviewed by plans for rehab admission standards if practices trigger an approved admission review target. An example of this may be that the plan determines anomalies in admissions related to diagnosis or severity.
30 Plans are not allowed to request routine treatment reviews for continued stay. Plans may request additional clinical information for individual or program level that meet an approved review clinic. Examples of this may include duration of treatment that is uniform for all patients indicating care that is not individualized.
31 There is no routine concurrent review for the purpose of determining discharge. Patients should be discharged when treatment goals are met. Programs should utilize LOCADTR to determine appropriate step-down following discharge. Plans may require a report for discharge from this level of care.
32 Plans may require notification through a completed LOCADTR report for admissions to this service within a reasonable time frame. The contractor will allow enrollees to make unlimited self-referrals for substance use disorder assessment from participating providers without requiring prior authorization or referral from the enrollee s primary care provider.
