Clinical Coverage Guidelines

The Clinical Coverage Guidelines (CCG) are evidence-based documents detailing the medical necessity of given procedures or technologies. The guidelines set consistent criteria for the coverage of a procedure or technology, leading to greater consistency and efficiency in clinical decision making. This consistency and efficiency results in better provider/company interactions and increases the quality of our members' health.
