Oklahoma Complete Health is committed to delivering cost-effective, quality care to our members. This requires us to ensure that our members only receive treatments that are medically necessary according to current standards of practice. Prior authorization is a process initiated by the physician in which we verify the medical necessity of a treatment in advance using independent objective medical criteria and/or in network utilization, where applicable.
It is the ordering/prescribing provider’s responsibility to determine which specific codes require prior authorization.
Please verify every member’s eligibility and benefits prior to rendering services to them. Payment, regardless of authorization, is contingent on the member’s eligibility at the time service is rendered. Non-Par Providers and facilities require authorization for all services except where indicated.
The codes listed in this document represent the national, standard code sets. Inclusion or exclusion of a code does not constitute or imply subscriber coverage or provider reimbursement. Please refer to your contract with Oklahoma Complete Health to determine all contracted/covered codes for each membership group. Please refer to the Medicaid Fee Schedule and the Billing and Procedure Coding Guide for a list of approved modifier codes.
