Update: naviHealth managing authorizations for MA members moving to post-acute care facilities
A few training sessions remain for health care providers to learn more about naviHealth’s clinical model and provider portal.
As you read in a May Record article, naviHealth will be managing authorizations for Medicare Plus BlueSM PPO and BCN AdvantageSM members who are moving into skilled nursing, long-term acute care and inpatient rehabilitation facilities. The transition to naviHealth is effective for authorization requests submitted for admission dates on or after June 1, 2019, for both in-state and out-of-state cases.
Following is the schedule for remaining webinar dates and times. Click here to register.
| Acute care hospitals |
Wednesday, June 5, 8 to 9:30 a.m. |
| Skilled nursing facilities |
Wednesday, June 5, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. |
| Inpatient rehabilitation facilities and long-term acute care hospitals |
Thursday, June 6, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. |
Here’s some additional information to keep in mind:
- Post-acute care facilities should always check to see if an authorization is in place when they’re handling an admission for a Medicare Advantage patient. If an authorization wasn’t submitted by the acute care facility, then the post-acute care facility should submit the authorization request.
- Retrospective authorizations can be submitted electronically up to 90 days post-discharge from an acute care facility. Beyond 90 days, authorizations must be phoned in or faxed.
For more details on how to submit authorization requests, see the May Record article.
