Summary

CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield is hosting live webinars in December 2023 to train providers on the genetic testing prior authorization process. The Post Claims Clinical Appropriateness review process is no longer in effect, making prior authorization mandatory for all genetic testing orders.

Action Required

Action needed
By December 12, 2023: Ordering providers must register for and attend one of the live webinars (December 5 or December 12, 11am-12pm) to learn the step-by-step prior authorization process for genetic testing. Contact learning@carefirst.com with questions. Failure to obtain prior authorization will prevent patients from accessing needed genetic tests.
