Enterprise Policy
Clinical Guidelines are written when necessary to provide guidance to providers and members in order to outline and clarify coverage criteria in accordance with the terms of the Member's policy. This Clinical Guideline only applies to PacificSource Health Plans, PacificSource Community Health Plans, and PacificSource Community Solutions in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Because of the changing nature of medicine, this list is subject to revision and update without notice. This document is designed for informational purposes only and is not an authorization or contract. Coverage determination are made on a case-by-case basis and subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the Member's policy. Member policies differ in benefits and to the extent a conflict exists between the Clinical Guideline and the Member's policy, the Member's policy language shall control. Clinical Guidelines do not constitute medical advice nor guarantee coverage.
Background
New and emerging medical procedures, medications, treatments and technologies are often prescribed by physicians and/or marketed to the public before governmental agency approval, evidence based guidelines and positions of leading national health professional organizations or research is available in the peer reviewed literature to document efficacy, safety, and long term positive outcomes. New technologies are reviewed by the New Technologies and Operational Criteria (NTOC) committee and Health Services department, and a recommendation is made regarding PacificSource coverage based upon then available literature reviews, standards of care and coverage, consultations with advisors and experts as needed, and other authoritative sources, as well as PacificSource group and individual contracts. Procedures are written when necessary to outline and clarify coverage criteria. Because of the changing nature of medicine, this list is subject to revision and update without notice. This document is designed for informational purposes only and is not an authorization or contract. Coverage determinations are made on a case-by-case basis and subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the member's policy.
Medicaid and Medicare use this policy as a resource to determine coverage, when there are no Medicaid or Medicare Coverage criteria guidelines (e.g. NCD/LCD and/or Medicaid defined criteria)
