Summary
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield is hosting live webinars in December 2023 to train providers on the step-by-step process for obtaining prior authorization for genetic testing. This is a reminder that the Post Claims Clinical Appropriateness review process is no longer in effect, making prior authorization mandatory for participating ordering providers.
Action Required
By December 12, 2023: Participating 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 genetic testing prior authorization process. Contact learning@carefirst.com with questions. Failure to obtain prior authorization will prevent patients from accessing needed genetic tests.
