New InterQual^® criteria training classes offered this summer

Please join us for a free, in-person training session regarding the use of the new InterQual criteria, which are effective July 1, 2013, for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

We will provide training and answer questions for all five InterQual criteria sets —acute care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, long-term acute care and home health. BCBSM-specific modifications to the criteria are now posted to web-DENIS.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Classes start at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. Lunch is provided. The morning portion of the class will focus on acute care, while the afternoon will focus on post-acute sets.

Please note: To accommodate travel schedules in the Upper Peninsula, registration for the Marquette class begins at 9:30 a.m., with the class beginning at 10 a.m. All other locations have an 8:30 a.m. registration time.

Please be sure to sign up in advance for these classes.
