Instructions for Submitting REQUESTS FOR PREDETERMINATIONS Predeterminations typically are not required. A predetermination is a voluntary, written request by a provider to determine if a proposed treatment or service is covered under a patient’s health benefit plan. Predetermination approvals and denials are usually based on our medical policies. View medical policies. The provider and member will be notified when the final outcome has been reached. Urgent care requests include any request for a predetermination with respect to which the application of the time periods for making non-urgent care determinations; a. could seriously jeopardize the life or health of the consumer or the ability of the consumer to regain maximum function, or b. in the opinion of a physician with knowledge of the consumer’s medical condition, would subject the consumer to severe pain that cannot be adequately managed without the care or treatment that is the subject of the request. IMPORTANT PREDETERMINATION REMINDERS 1. Always verify eligibility and benefits first. 2. You must also complete any other pre-service requirements, such as preauthorization, if applicable and required. 3. All applicable fields are required. If all information is not provided, this may cause a delay in the predetermination process. (Inquiries received without the member/patient’s group number, ID number, and date of birth cannot be completed and may be returned to you to supply this information.) 4. You MUST submit the predetermination to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plan that issues or administers the patient’s health benefit plan. 5. Fax information for each patient separately, using the fax number indicated on the form. 6. Always place the Predetermination Request Form on top of other supporting documentation. Please include any additional comments if needed with supporting documentation. 7. Do not send in duplicate requests, as this may delay the process. 8. Per Medical Policy, if photos are required for review, the photos should be mailed along with the Predetermination Request Form and not faxed. Faxed photos are not legible and cannot be used to make a determination. 9. Fax each completed Predetermination Request Form to 888-579-7935.
