RX_ OUTPATIENT INJECTABLE RX CODES 03/2021
Important Update: Outpatient Injectable Drug Codes that
Require Prior Authorization (PA)
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 (UM) 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 Injectable Drug codes that require prior
authorization (PA).
This will affect claims with date(s) of service starting Saturday, May 1, 2021 and onward.
Enclosed with this notice is a code specific list for Outpatient Injectable Drug codes that shows
which codes require PA. The Outpatient Injectable Drug 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
•
NDC as published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
•
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.
