We strive to help our Members understand their supplemental program benefits and make educated decisions, avoiding surprise bills after care is obtained. To achieve this goal, we require pre-certification for continued inpatient services once Medicare benefits have been exhausted and for certain services if the member is stepping outside of the Medicare network (using the PHCS PPO network) for eligible specialist services. Pre-certification is not needed if you are a Medicare registered provider, and the member is leveraging their Medicare benefits as primary.
Pre-certification is required for the following services rendered by a PHCS PPO provider (not Medicare registered):
Pre-certification is also required for the following services if the member’s Medicare benefit limit has been reached: inpatient services and skilled nursing facilities
