  3. Page 3 Dear Provider Partner: Advantage Health Solutions, Inc. is implementing a new Retrospective authorization policy effective November 1, 2014 . Providers must provide all relevant information necessary to authorize a service within the following timeframe:  Within 3 business days for an emergency  No later than 2 business days before service if non-emergent Retrospective authorizations after services have begun or have been completed will be considered by Advantage Health Solutions for medically necessary services only under the following circumstances: The provider followed appropriate procedures but received invalid information. For example, documentation of authorization from an incorrectly identified payor source. The provider's documentation confirms checking eligibility but was provided erroneous infor- mation. The provider's records document that the recipient refused or was physically unable to provide the recipient identification information. All authorization requests delayed due to the three circumstances above must be submitted within 30 calendar days from identifying the member’s eligibility or member’s confirmation of insurance cover- age. The request must be accompanied by evidence of the provider’s failed attempts to confirm eligi- bility (i.e. screen shots). If a claim is submitted for services that require authorization but is not ob- tained, the claim will be processed as a payment denial. The Explanation of Benefit (EOB) will include the applicable reference to denial for no authorization and includes contact information on submitting a provider dispute. If you have any questions regarding this new policy please contact Provider Relations Thank you, Provider Relations
