Partners Health Management
Welcome to the Partners Health Management page. The documents below have been designed to help RadMD users navigate the prior authorization process for each program Evolent (formerly National Imaging Associates, Inc.) is responsible for. Additional process-specific training tools and modules can be found via links on the Resources tab at the top of the screen.
PLEASE NOTE: Partners Health Management, with North Carolina Medicaid guidance is waiving prior authorization for the dates of service from July 1, 2024, through January 31, 2025. To ensure continuous care for members during the transition, Partners is extending certain policy flexibilities originally scheduled to expire September 30, 2024. The transition period for these flexibilities will continue until January 31, 2025, to ensure Providers with contracts will be able to file claims for dates of service from July 1, 2024, through January 31, 2025, without authorization. The No Prior Auth period does not apply to concurrent reviews for inpatient admission. Those should still occur during this time.
Prior authorization will be required for the following outpatient procedures:
- CT/CTA
- MRI/MRA
- PET Scan
- MUGA Scan
- Nuclear Stress Test
- Echocardiography
