Clarification to Carelon Medical Benefits Management, Inc. updates effective September 1, 2024

In the July 2024 edition of Provider News, we announced the transition to the following Carelon Medical Benefits Management guidelines: Site of Care for Advanced Imaging, Rehabilitative Site of Care, and Surgical Site of Care effective September 1, 2024. To clarify, existing prior authorization requirements have not changed, and this does not equate to the presence of a site of care review requirement. In the event a site of care review requirement for these services will be implemented, a separate notice will be distributed before the addition of any such requirements.

You may access and download a copy of the current and upcoming guidelines here:

• Site of Care Guidelines:
  • Site of Care for Advanced Imaging
  • Rehabilitative Site of Care
  • Surgical Site of Care
