Fidelis Care is pleased to announce a new Prior Authorization Requirement Lookup Tool to help improve the experience of providers. The new, web-based tools will help providers determine which procedure codes require pre-authorization for Medicaid (including Child Health Plus and HARP products), Medicare, Essential Plans, and Qualified Health Plans (Ambetter from Fidelis Care).
Streamlined Access for Providers: Access the lookup tool on fideliscare.org:
- Navigate to Providers
- Under Provider Resources, find Authorization Grids
- Click on the Medicaid, Child Health Plus, HealthierLife (HARP), Medicare, Essential Plan or Qualified Health Plan drop-down menu
- Select Authorization Lookup Tool at the top of the menu
Benefits of the New Tool:
- Faster Determinations: Providers can more quickly determine whether or not a code needs prior authorization.
- Real-Time Procedure Code Updates: Experience quicker updates to both new and existing procedure codes, enabling more accurate and timely information.
Reference Guide: For further information and instructions on using the tool, providers can review the Authorization Lookup Tool Reference Guide.
Authorization Grids: If a code is not found while using the tool, providers should refer to the authorization grids located here. If still uncertain whether prior authorization is required, providers should submit a request for authorization through the Provider Portal.
We are excited about the enhanced capabilities this tool brings to our provider community, and we appreciate your continued partnership.
