Delayed implementation for varicose vein authorizations
As we shared in August, we’ll soon require prior authorization following InterQual® criteria for certain varicose vein procedures (see medical policy #91326 for a list of applicable procedures / services).
Implementation of this requirement, originally slated for Nov. 1, will be delayed. The new implementation dates by plan type are as follows:
- Commercial: Jan. 1, 2025
- Medicaid: Jan. 1, 2025
- Medicare: 2026
