Select specialty medications covered under the Medicare Part B medical benefit will require prior authorization, starting July 5, 2017.
Beginning on that date, health care providers should submit prior authorization requests electronically through NovoLogix®, a secure online tool. NovoLogix allows providers to obtain real-time status checks on prior authorizations and to obtain immediate approvals for certain medications.
Use of the NovoLogix tool will save time and lessen your administrative burden by eliminating the process of filing forms manually. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has been using NovoLogix for the past two years so some providers may already be familiar with the tool.
To learn how to use the NovoLogix tool, you’ll want to sign up for a webinar training session, which will conclude with a question-and-answer session. You can choose from one of the following sessions:
