Update: Highmark Prior Authorization delayed and New webinars added

As noted in our previous communication, Highmark BCBS of Western NY and Northeastern NY is implementing a prior authorization program for certain services rendered by DCs, PTs, OTs and home care providers. Prior authorization is required for applicable Highmark members for services rendered on or after May 1, 2024 (including those patients who were under care prior to that date).

The NYSCA Insurance Committee and Officers have done a thorough job thus far keeping everyone informed on this very relevant topic. We applaud them for their efforts and communications between Highmark, DFS, and our members. As such, these efforts made a notable and positive change in a quick manner.
