July 31, 2014

Starting in mid-August, IBC will offer the ability to useElectronic Provider Access (EPA) through the NaviNetweb portal to access the provider portal of an out-of-areamember?s Home Plan and conduct electronic pre-servicereviews.

With this added function on NaviNet, you may no longerbe required to call the out-of-area member?s healthplan line to request preapproval. Users may still needto call the member?s Home Plan to request preapprovalif the Home Plan does not offer the pre-service reviewelectronically. The new transaction, Pre-Service Reviewfor Out-of-Area Members, will be available underthe Blue Exchange® Out of Area option in the PlanTransactions menu.

The benefits of EPA include:
