Summary
MVP Healthcare has updated 12 medical policies effective June 1, 2026, covering diverse procedures including allergy testing, cardiac monitoring, hospice care, imaging, joint replacement, pacemakers, power mobility devices, mastectomy/oophorectomy, prosthetics, transplants, and umbilical cord blood banking. The billing team must review detailed policy content for each affected service line to identify specific coverage criteria, prior authorization requirements, and coding changes.
Action Required
By May 20, 2026: Billing team must access the full policy text at the provided URL to extract specific billing codes, prior authorization requirements, and coverage criteria for all 12 updated policies. For each policy: (1) Identify applicable CPT/HCPCS codes, (2) Determine if prior authorization is required, (3) Update billing system edits and encounter forms, (4) Brief providers on documentation requirements, (5) Test system changes before June 1 effective date. Failure to implement these changes will result in claim denials and payment delays. Assign ownership by service line (e.g., cardiology team reviews pacemaker/monitor policies; surgical team reviews joint replacement/mastectomy policies).
