Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must access the full policy document at https://dctm.humana.com/Mentor/Web/v.aspx?objectID=090009298a58680e to identify specific prior authorization requirements for Asparlas™ (HCPCS J9119). Determine: (1) which diagnoses require prior auth, (2) required documentation for authorization, (3) any changes from previous policy versions. Update billing system rules and EMR templates to enforce prior authorization requirements before submitting claims. Notify oncology providers and infusion center staff of new/revised requirements.
