Medicare implantable ambulatory event monitors questionnaire removed from e-referral system
On May 26, 2024, we removed the Medicare implantable ambulatory event monitors questionnaire from the e-referral system. This questionnaire no longer opens for Medicare Plus Blue℠ or BCN Advantage℠ members. However, procedure code *33285 continues to require prior authorization.
We’ve updated the Authorization criteria and preview questionnaires document on the ereferrals.bcbsm.com website to reflect this change.
As a reminder, we use our authorization criteria, our medical policies and health care providers’ answers to the questionnaires in the e-referral system when making utilization management determinations on prior authorization requests. |
