Information checklists can be edited, downloaded and customized and a copy pasted directly into Atrezzo Provider Portal Connect or submitted with Outpatient Srv Authorization fax Form 12

Required PA Information 13

Eligibility and Units Available Eligibility verification avoids unnecessary delays associated with service authorization submission (due to incorrect payer source). Eligibility should be checked at each visit. Providers must submit service authorization requests for member eligible dates under the Medicaid Fee For Service Plan. Service requests for dates outside the member’s coverage (future dates for on going coverage is an exception) will be rejected and returned for correction. Check eligibility for dates of service requested 14

Out of State Providers Submitting Requests for Service Authorization Effective March 1, 2013 out of state providers need to determine and document evidence that one of the following items is met at the time the service authorization request is submitted to the service authorization contractor: 1. The medical services must be needed because of a medical emergency. 2. Medical services must be needed and the recipient’s health would be endangered if he were required to travel to his state of residence; 3. The state determines, on the basis of medical advice, that the needed medical services, or necessary supplementary resources, are more readily available in the other state; 4. It is the general practice for recipients in a particular locality to use medical resources in another state. Authorization requests for certain services can also be submitted by out-of-state facilities. Refer to the Out of State Request Policy and Procedure on Pages 8 & 9 for guidelines when processing out of state requests, including 12VAC The provider needs to determine item 1 through 4 at the time of the request to the Contractor. If the provider is unable to establish one of the four KePRO will: Pend the request utilizing established provider pend timeframes Have the provider research and support one of the items above and submit back to the Contractor their findings

Out of State Providers Submitting Requests for Service Authorization Specific Information for Out of State Providers Out of state providers are held to the same service authorization processing rules as in state providers and must be enrolled with Virginia Medicaid prior to submitting a request for out of state services to KePRO. If the provider is not enrolled as a participating provider with Virginia Medicaid, the provider is encouraged to submit the request to KePRO, as timeliness of the request will be considered in the review process. KePRO will pend the request back to the provider for 12 business days to allow the provider to become successfully enrolled. If KePRO receives the information in response to the pend for the provider’s enrollment from the newly enrolled provider within the 12 business days, the request will then continue through the review process and a final determination will be made on the service request.

Out of State Providers Submitting Requests for Service Authorization Specific Information for Out of State Providers If the request was pended for no provider enrollment and KePRO does not receive the information to complete the processing of the request within the 12 business days, KePRO will reject the request back to the provider, as the service authorization can not be entered into MMIS without the providers National Provider Identification (NPI). Once the provider is successfully enrolled, the provider must resubmit the entire request. Out of state providers may enroll with Virginia Medicaid by going to At the toolbar at the top of the page, click on Provider Services and then Provider Enrollment in the drop down box. It may take up to 10 business days to become a Virginia participating provider.
