Magellan has updated preauthorization policy

Effective January 1, 2013, Magellan Health Services will no longer require preauthorization or submitting treatment request forms for routine outpatient care for most plans.   Magellan hopes to streamline clinical management for outpatient treatment in order to help their members get access to the care they need.   This policy does not apply to inpatient, residential or partial hospitalization.   For more information and plan exceptions to this new model providers can securely sign into www.magellanhealth.com/provider.
