Provider Policies

We maintain medical, payment and administrative policies for our health partners. 

These policies are regularly reviewed, updated, withdrawn or added; and therefore, subject to change.

Please check often for updates to health partner policies.

Policies may vary by plan and/or state. Click the links to access policies for your member’s plan.

The policies presented on these pages may not be inclusive of all applicable provider policies. Some benefit management services are provided on behalf of us. Please reference applicable from our delegated service providers.
