Certain radiological procedures now require precertification through the HealthHelp portal.

Immediately: Billing team must verify precertification requirements for chiropractic radiological procedures by accessing https://portal.healthhelp.com/mohealthnet before scheduling advanced imaging. Update workflow to check portal guidelines for specific procedures requiring prior auth. Claims for non-precertified procedures will be denied.
