MEDICARE plans: Effective 8/5/2024, peer-to-peer discussions must be performed before a final determination has been made on the request. Medicare re-opens are only allowed if the request complies with the CMS definition of a re-open. Providers will continue to have the option to submit an appeal utilizing the health plan’s process.
Effective January 1, 2025, Evolent will no longer service Presbyterian Health Plan's Advanced Imaging Prior Authorization requests and reviews for all product lines. Please refer to the number on the back of the member's insurance card for services.
