Fast Facts Newsletter - November 2026
HealthPartners' November 2026 Fast Facts newsletter lists several changes, most effective January 1, 2027: Cigna-insured members will require precertification for outpatient non-emergency CT, MRI and PET imaging; manual and power mobility device codes will require prior authorization for Medicare Advantage, Medicare Cost and MSHO members; Actemra is being replaced by the biosimilar Avtozma and several diabetes and insulin drugs are leaving the formulary; and Minnesota Medicaid moves to MNAAC pharmacy reimbursement. The billing team should also note the standing reminder to submit any change to a previously filed claim as a corrected claim with Bill Frequency Code 7.
