Important Update: Hearing Aid and Enteral/Parenteral
Codes That Require Authorization
Alameda Alliance for Health (Alliance) values our dedicated provider partner community. 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 Hearing Aid and Enteral/Parenteral codes that
require prior authorization (PA). These codes will require a PA starting Monday, December 13,
2021, and onward. Enclosed with this notice is a code specific list for Hearing Aid and
Enteral/Parenteral codes that shows 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.
