UPDATE: Prior authorization requirements for high-level, definitive drug testing delayed

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

In the last edition of the Network Update, Empire HealthPlus communicated that the prior authorization for high-level, definitive drug testing(s) was changing for Medicaid Managed Care members.

 

There is a delay in implementing this change and a new effective date has yet to be determined.
