Clarification: Services requiring AIM prior authorization

In an August Record article, we wrote that services associated with certain radiology codes required prior authorization from AIM Specialty Health® for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan commercial members, including UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust members with a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan non‑Medicare plan. We want to clarify that this requirement doesn’t apply to the following:

  • UAW Retiree Health Care Trust (group number 70605)
  • UAW International Union (group number 71714)

These two groups don’t require prior authorization from AIM.
