More changes coming in October to NaviNet®

October 1, 2014

[

Beginning October 18, 2014, the changes listed in this article will be made to the NaviNet web portal. Please review this information to understand how these changes may affect how you do business with Independence.

Member ID cards

For migrated members, providers will now be able to view member ID cards through NaviNet. To view a migrated member's ID card, select the View Current Member ID Card link from the Eligibility and Benefits Details screen.

NaviNet will present printable images of the front and back of the member's current ID card in a new browser window. Please note that only medical ID cards will display. ID cards will not be displayed for members who have stand-alone coverage (e.g., pharmacy or vision only). Note: This enhancement provides access to an image of a member's current ID card. Therefore, when conducting an Eligibility and Benefits Inquiry search for a migrated member using a past or future date of service, the information found on the member ID card image may differ from the information provided on the Eligibility and Benefits Details screen.

Drug pre-authorizations

There will be screen changes within the Drug Pre-Authorization transaction. Providers will now need to select their provider group and location first from the Prescribing Provider Group drop-down menu. Then providers will be able to enter the member's ID number and the date of request.

After selecting the member, providers will be prompted to select the appropriate practitioner from the Prescribing Provider drop-down menu. Only those practitioners linked to the previously selected office location will display. Then the provider will select the prescribed drug from the Medication drop-down menu.

Once complete, the provider will be presented with the Drug Pre-Authorization Response Form. The office contact, telephone number, and fax number remain required fields. Providers will continue to receive a faxed response for approved requests.

Postponements

The NaviNet office conversion, which impacts provider drop-down menus, has been postponed until early 2015. Additionally, the new Allowance Inquiry transaction, which replaces the retired Fee Schedule Inquiry transaction, will not be released until early 2015.

More information about upcoming changes, including the availability of detailed user guides, will be communicated in future editions of Partners in Health UpdateSM.

If you have any questions regarding these upcoming NaviNet changes, please call the eBusiness Hotline at 215-640-7410.
