Medical Policies
Sentara Health Plans ha desarrollado políticas médicas que sirven como directrices para las decisiones de cobertura y ayudan a administrar los beneficios del plan. Las políticas expresan la determinación de Sentara Health Plans sobre si ciertos servicios son médicamente necesarios, y se basan en una revisión de la información clínica disponible en el momento. Las políticas médicas no sustituyen el criterio clínico. Estas políticas no son una explicación de los beneficios. Se les recuerda a los proveedores que verifiquen siempre los beneficios para miembros y los requisitos de autorización previa para el servicio solicitado. Los miembros pueden comunicarse con los representantes de servicio al cliente para obtener información específica sobre la cobertura. Estas políticas médicas no reemplazan ningún requisito reglamentario.
Las políticas médicas pueden ser sumamente técnicas y complejas, y se proporcionan aquí con fines informativos. Estas políticas médicas están destinadas al uso por parte de los profesionales de la salud. Las políticas médicas no constituyen asesoramiento médico ni atención médica. Los profesionales de la salud que tratan a los pacientes son los únicos responsables del diagnóstico, el tratamiento y el asesoramiento médico. Los miembros de Sentara Health Plans deben conversar sobre la información de las políticas médicas con los profesionales de la salud que los tratan.
La tecnología médica está en constante evolución y estas políticas médicas están sujetas a cambios sin previo aviso, aunque Sentara Health Plans notificará a los proveedores, según sea necesario y con anticipación, sobre los cambios que podrían tener un impacto negativo en los beneficios. Puede que se desarrollen políticas médicas adicionales de vez en cuando y algunas pueden ser retiradas. Las políticas médicas que se hayan vuelto obsoletas se archivarán según corresponda.
