Alameda Alliance for Health (Alliance) values our dedicated provider partner community. We have an important update we would like to share with you.
Our provider partner satisfaction is a top priority. We are working to improve our Utilization Management and Claims processes to help ensure proper claim payment to our provider partners, and alignment of authorized services. To accomplish this goal, we are reviewing each benefit and we will be sending you updates, as the information is ready to share. This communication provides an update on Outpatient Rehab (PT, ST, OT, Cardiac, and Aquatic) codes that require prior authorization (PA). This will affect claims with date(s) of service starting Monday, September 26, 2022, and onward. Enclosed with this notice is a code-specific list for Outpatient Rehab (PT, ST, OT, Cardiac, and Aquatic) codes that show which codes require PA. The list may include codes that newly require authorization and/or previously required authorization. This list can be found on our website at www.alamedaalliance.org/providers/authorizations. Please refer to our website for the most up-to-date information about codes or benefits that require authorization. In addition to the codes, our claims system will also validate that claims received match the authorization when an authorization is required. The following items will be validated: • Member name
• Provider NPI • CPT and HCPC coding
• Date(s) of service is within the authorized range • Number of units and/or visits
• Place of service matches site of care submitted on the authorization request form
This update has been validated based on current and published billable coding for 2021 and was confirmed to be covered by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). If you have questions, please call the Alliance Provider Services Department at 1.510.747.4510. Thank you for your continued partnership and for providing high-quality care to our members and the community.
