Treating an Additional Body PartIf a provider is in the middle of treatment and gets a new therapy prescription for a differentbody part, the provider will perform a new evaluation on that body part and develop goalsfor treatment. See below for processes associated with the possible next treatment plans:15Treating body partsconcurrently:Discontinuing care onoriginal body part: The request would besubmitted as an addendumto the existingauthorization, using thesame process that is usedfor subsequent requests. Magellan Healthcare willadd additional ICD 10code(s) and visits to theexisting authorization. The provider should submita new request for the newdiagnosis and include thedischarge summary for theprevious area. A newauthorization will beprocessed to begin care onthe new body part and theprevious will be ended.

Validity Period and Notification of DeterminationAuthorization Notification The approval notification will include afax coversheet that can be used for anysubsequent requests.Validity Period 16Authorizations will include the number ofapproved visits with a validity period. It isimportant that the service is performedwithin the validity period.If you have an active authorization, a 30day extension of the validity period canbe obtained by contacting MagellanHealthcare.Denial Notification Notifications will include an explanation of whatservices have been denied and the clinicalrationale for the denial A peer to peer discussion can be initiated oncethe adverse determination has been made.

Processing of ClaimsHow Claims Should be SubmittedClaims Appeals Process Providers will continue tosubmit their claims to GatewayHealth In the event of a prior authorization Providers are stronglyencouraged to use EDI claimssubmission17or claims payment denial, providersmay appeal the decision throughGateway Health Providers should follow theinstructions on their nonauthorization letter or Explanationof Payment (EOP) notification

Physical Medicine PointsIf multiple provider types are requesting services, they will each need their own authorization(i.e. PT, ST, and OT services).The CPT codes for PT, OT and ST initial evaluations do not require an authorization. However, allother billed codes even if performed on the same date as the initial evaluation will requireauthorization prior to billing. Home health providers submitting claims using codes other than CPTCodes for the initial evaluation should request an authorization within the timeframe listed below,so the authorization can be backdated to cover these services.After the initial visit, providers will have up 5 business or calendar days to request approval forthe first visit. If requests are received timely, Magellan Healthcare is able to backdate the start ofthe authorization to cover the evaluation date of service to include any other services renderedat that time.Subsequent authorizations are an extension of the initial authorization and willrequire clinical documentation be uploaded to www.RadMD.com or faxed to MagellanHealthcare at 1-800-784-6864.An authorization will consist of number of visits and a validity period. Each date of service iscalculated as a visit.30 day extensions to the end date of current authorizations can be added by utilizing the“Request Validity Date Extension” option on RadMD.18
