Updates to Prior Authorization Requirements

‘Ohana Health Plan has an important update to share with you.

There will be changes to the authorization requirements for services you may order or render for our members. These authorization changes may include lab services, genetic testing and/or services performed by the following vendor. However, all approvals and denials will continue to be made by ‘Ohana’s Utilization Management team.
HealthHelp (Radiation Therapy, Medical Oncology)

On 01/01/2020 for Medicare and 02/01/2020 for Medicaid, Ohana Health Plan will be making updates to reflect these changes on the authorization lookup tool www.wellcare.com/auth_lookup. Prior authorization requirements are subject to periodic changes. You should always use our website’s authorization page to determine whether a procedure code requires prior authorization, and always check eligibility and confirm benefits before rendering services to members. Failure to do so may result in denial of reimbursement.
