Action Required
This is historical material published March 1, 2017, with all effective dates between January 1, 2017 and February 1, 2017 now long past. No current action is required based on this newsletter. If the practice currently bills Security Health Plan of Wisconsin, verify current applicability by consulting the plan's most recent provider manual, medical policy updates, and prior authorization requirements through www.securityhealth.org/priorauthorizations or by contacting the Provider Assistance Line at 1-800-548-1224. Do not attempt to implement or comply with 2017 deadlines; instead, confirm which of the listed policies (e.g., cryoablation, gastric pacing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy) remain active under Security Health Plan today and obtain current medical criteria and authorization requirements.
