We’re committed to supporting you in providing quality care and services to the members in our network. Here you will find information for assessing coverage options, guidelines for clinical utilization management, practice policies, the provider manual and support for delivering benefits to our members.

Medical Policies & Clinical UM Guidelines

 

Medical policies address the medical need for new services or procedures and new applications of existing services or procedures. Clinical utilization management (UM) guidelines focus on selection criteria, length of stay, and location for generally accepted technologies or services.

Transparency Statement

 

From time to time, as permitted by contractual or regulatory obligations, Anthem contracts with an outside entity to provide our members or providers with various services—such as Utilization Management or Case Management—on our behalf. In addition, we may use an entity outside of the United States to perform some select utilization management approvals.

 

We have a common goal of helping to ensure that your patients receive access to quality, evidence-based, efficient care. If you have questions about this statement, please contact your local Provider Call Center.
