The teleconference is intended for our J5/J8 Part A/B providers billing on a UB-04/CMS-1500 or electronic equivalent.

The requirement for prior authorization of certain hospital outpatient procedures became effective on July 1, 2020. Since that time WPS GHA has reviewed thousands of requests. We have issued non-affirmations for over 50% of the requests. A high percentage of those non-affirmations were submitted by the physician on behalf of the facility. We will discuss the reasons for non-affirmation and answer questions on the prior authorization process.
The agenda includes:
• Brief overview of the process
• Reasons for non-affirmations
• Question and answer time


Time of Event:
Call/Sign-in: 9:45 - 10:00 AM CT (10:45 - 11:00 AM ET)
