1.0 POLICY
Otherwise covered services
rendered by an authorized professional provider who is not employed
by or contracted with the institution may be cost-shared even though
the medical services were furnished in an unauthorized institution
for which benefits cannot be extended.
2.0 EXCLUSION
Inpatient mental health services,
partial hospitalization, or any other care that falls under the waiver
of liability provision. For example, when preauthorization is required
as for inpatient mental health services and partial hospitalization
and has not been obtained, payment may not be made for any of the
services, either institutional or those rendered by an authorized
professional provider who is not employed or contracted with the
institution.
