Coming soon - Interactive Care Reviewer Anthem’s self-service online prior authorization tool

In third quarter 2020, we are launching Interactive Care Reviewer (ICR) Anthem’s online authorization tool for members enrolled in an Anthem plan. ICR offers a streamlined process to request and check the status of medical and behavioral health inpatient and outpatient procedures.

 

With ICR you can attach and submit clinical notes and supporting images, update cases and request clinical appeals. Additionally, you can look up information on authorization requests that were submitted by phone or fax.

 

Access ICR through the Availity Portal

Be prepared early and ask your Availity administrator to grant you the required ICR role assignment now.

• Do you create and submit prior authorization requests?

Authorization and Referral Request role assignment

• Do you check the status of the case or results of the authorization request?

Authorization and Referral Inquiry role assignment

 

When ICR is launched, follow these steps to navigate to the application through Availity:

• Select Patient Registration from Availity’s home page
• Select Authorizations & Referrals
• Select Authorizations (for requests) | Select Auth/Referral Inquiry (for inquiries)

We offer a webinar every month to help familiarize new users with ICR features and navigation of the tool. Our next webinar is taking place on August 18. Register Here
