Summary

Connecticut Medicaid's medical authorization portal now integrates with Change Healthcare's InterQual Review Share feature, allowing hospitals with existing InterQual reviews for emergent inpatient admissions to upload those reviews instead of completing duplicate medical reviews. This can result in immediate approvals for cases meeting medical necessity criteria.
