3 Submitting precertification requests General info Services Drugs Special programs How to submit IMPORTANT: As the patient’s attending provider, you must complete all sections of a submission. If you don’t send all medical records we ask for, it may delay our review or cause a denial of coverage. You must submit precertification requests at least two weeks in advance. You can save time by requesting precertification online. Doing so is fast, secure and simple. You can submit most requests through our Availity® provider portal. You can also send requests for specialty drugs with Novologix® through Availity. Go to Availity.com to start a request. Note: Your office may also send in an electronic request. Just use your own Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. Go to Aetna.com/PrecertificationOverview to learn more about the precertification process. What happens next Once we have the requested information, we’ll perform a clinical review. We’ll let you know when we make a coverage determination. How we make coverage determinations If you’re asking for precertification for a Medicare Advantage member, we use the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid service (CMS) benefit policies to make our coverage decisions. This includes national coverage determinations (NCDs) and local coverage determinations (LCDs), when available. If there isn’t an available NCD or LCD to review, we’ll use the Aetna Medicare Part B Drug Criteria, Clinical Policy Bulletins and Precertification List. You can find them by going to the website listed on the back of the member’s ID card. Questions? If you have any questions about submitting a request or about our precertification process, call us: • Commercial plans: 1-888-632-3862 (TTY: 711) • Medicare plans: 1-800-624-0756 (TTY: 711) Or visit Aetna.com/ProviderPrecertificationList to learn more.
4 General information Services Drugs Special programs How to submit General info You should know • This material is for your information only. It’s not meant to direct treatment decisions. • The review of items on this list may vary at our discretion. If you receive approval for a service or supply, it’s for that service or supply only. • Services that don’t need precertification are subject to the coverage terms of the member’s plan. • We require precertification when we’re the primary or secondary payer. Coverage changes and updates • If member eligibility and plan coverage for the procedure or service you asked for hasn’t changed, precertification approvals are valid for six months. This is true for all states. This is also the case unless we tell you otherwise when you receive the precertification decision. • We update the precertification list each year. We usually do this in January and July. But we may add new drugs approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to the list at other times. For more information • Visit Clinical Policy Bulletins and our online provider directory. • The precertification process doesn’t include verbal or written requests for information about benefits or services not on the precertification lists. Our staff can assess if a caller is making an inquiry or asking for a coverage decision or organization determination. • We don’t offer all plans in all service areas. Not all plans include all services listed. For example, precertification programs don’t apply to fully insured members in Indiana.
