Reminder: Pre-service review for out-of-area members available through NaviNet

May 1, 2015

[

In August 2014, Independence introduced Electronic Provider Access (EPA), which allows providers to conduct electronic pre-service reviews through the NaviNet web portal for out-of-area members. The Pre-Service Review for Out-of-Area Members transaction is available through the Blue Exchange® Out of Area option in the Independence Blue Cross Workflows menu.

With this added function on NaviNet, you are not required to call the out-of-area member's Home Plan line to request preapproval. Note: Users may still need to call the member's Home Plan to request preapproval if the Home Plan does not offer the pre-service review electronically.

The benefits of EPA include:

  • more efficient pre-service review process;
  • reduced administrative costs and fewer phone calls;
  • improved provider and member satisfaction.
