OPUM_PROSTHETIC AUTH UPDATE 01/2023
Important Update: Prosthetic Codes that Require Authorization
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 prosthetic codes that require prior authorization
(PA).
This will affect claims with the date(s) of service starting Friday, February 10, 2023, and
onward. Enclosed with this notice is a code-specific list of prosthetic codes that shows which
codes require PA. The 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 are within the authorized range
•
Number of units and/or visits
•
Place of service matches the site of care submitted on the authorization request form
This update has been validated based on current publishable/billable coding and was confirmed
to be covered by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).
If you have any 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.
