Questions? Please call the Alliance Provider Services Department Monday – Friday, 7:30 am – 5 pm Phone Number: 1.510.747.4510 www.alamedaalliance.org 1/1 UMPRVDRCRCMSN, DIALYSIS, GEN TST PA UPDATE 01/2025 FAXED 01/13/2025 Important Update: Utilization Management (UM) Circumcision, Dialysis, and Genetic Testing Codes That Require Prior Authorization At Alameda Alliance for Health (Alliance), we appreciate our dedicated provider partner community and strive to deliver the highest levels of service and satisfaction.
We have an important update we want to share with you about Circumcision, Dialysis, and Genetic Testing codes that require prior authorization for in-network providers. This does not include outpatient pharmacy services through the member’s pharmacy benefit. This update affects claims with the date(s) of service starting Monday, February 17, 2025, and onward for the code-specific list of Circumcision, Dialysis, and Genetic Testing codes that require prior authorization. The previous notice we shared on Friday, August 20, 2021, included dialysis codes that are now omitted in this new list. The updated list is also available on the Alliance website at www.alamedaalliance.org/providers/authorizations. Please refer to our website for the most up- to-date information about codes and benefits that require prior authorization. Please Note: For service codes that do not require prior authorization but are associated with a prior authorization required service, there must be an approved authorization on file for the primary service requiring authorization for the associated code(s) to be paid. Associated codes not on the prior authorization list will not be paid separately if the primary service was denied or does not have prior authorization.
In addition to the codes, our claims system will validate that the claim received matches the authorization when 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 • National Drug Codes (NDCs) approved by the FDA are required on claims submissions. Claims missing and/or without a matching NDC on a claim will be denied. This update has been validated based on current and published billable coding and was confirmed to be covered by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). Thank you for your continued partnership and for providing high quality care to our members and the community.
