Coverage extension, or special authorization, provides a mechanism for a Provider to request inclusion of a service and/or product as a covered benefit under a patient's insurance policy. Typically, the service and/or product is not covered under the patient's insurance and a coverage extension request is required before the service and/or product can be paid.

A coverage extension number may also be supplied with the coverage extension results and may be required for inclusion in an Invoice.

Narrative Example

Adam Everyman suffers from arthritis and is not responding to his current medication. During a follow-up visit to his physician, Dr. Family, he mentions that his current medication doesn't seem to be working.

Dr. Family suggests Celebrex as an alternative. Celebrex is not a benefit under Adam's health insurance plan, but it may be covered if he applies for and is approved through Coverage Extension.

Dr. Family submits a Coverage Extension request to Adam's insurance company for processing. Results and final approval were sent by the insurance company indicating that the Coverage Extension would be valid for one year.

Dr. Family then provides Adam with a new prescription for Celebrex, which he takes to his local pharmacy to be filled. At the pharmacy, Adam's pharmacist submits a bill to his insurance company for the Celebrex as well as the pharmacist's professional service fee.

Narrative Example

Eve Everywoman suffers from Osteoporosis and has been taken her current medication for about one year. During a follow-up visit to her physician, Dr. Family, she undergoes a bone mineral density (BMD) test. Her T-score indicates that her BMD has not increased.

Dr. Family suggests Fosomax as an alternative to her current medication. Fosomax is not an eligible benefit under Eve's health insurance plan, but it may be covered if she applies for and is approved through Coverage Extension.

Dr. Family submits a Coverage Extension request to Eve's insurance company for processing. Eve's insurance company accepted and approved the request and indicates that the authorization is valid for two years.

Dr. Family then provides Eve with a new prescription for Fosomax which she takes to her local pharmacy to be filled. At the pharmacy, Eve's pharmacist submits a bill to her insurance company for the Fosomax as well as the pharmacist's professional service fee.

Purpose

To demonstrate how Coverage Extension for Pharmacy services is requested and obtained. A Coverage Extension by a Coverage Extension Manager is a commitment to extend coverage for a particular insurance policy.

This storyboard depicts a delayed response with an initial 'identifier handshake' response followed by final Coverage Extension results.

Dr. Family suggests Fosomax as an alternative to her current medication. Fosomax is not an eligible benefit under Eve's health insurance plan, but it may be covered if she applies for and is approved through Coverage Extension.

Dr. Family submits an authorization request to Eve's insurance company for processing. Eve's insurance company accepted the Coverage Extension request and sent Dr. Family preprocessing results, which stated that manual processing was required and final results would follow. Two days later, approval for the Coverage Extenstion Request was received. Authorization would be valid for two years.

Dr. Family then provided Eve with a new prescription for Fosomax, which she took to her local pharmacy to be filled. At the pharmacy, Eve's pharmacist submited a bill to her insurance company for the Fosomax as well as the pharmacist's professional service fee.

Description View Interactions

An application that requests approval to extend a patient's coverage benefits for delivery of healthcare services (e.g. treatment, diagnosis) and/or products (e.g. wheelchair, hearing aid), typically before the services and/or products have been rendered.

The Provider may or may not actually bill for the service and/or product that is authorized. Therefore, Coverage Extension Requests that are approved typically have expiration dates and limits on their use.

The Coverage Extension Requestor will receive only the Final Coverage Extension Results with no initial response from the Coverage Extension Manager.

A trigger to send an initial Coverage Extension Results when the Adjudicator has completed an initial preprocessing of the Coverage Extension Request.

This trigger occurs in the same query/response interaction as the Coverage Extension Request; and will subsequently be followed by a trigger to the Coverage Extension Manager, Final, when the Final Results are complete.

The Initial Results may include preliminary edits such as patient identifier and date validation as well as patient eligibility validation. The Initial Results will also indicate when the Final Coverage Extention Results may be expected.

The Final Coverage Extension Results may grant or deny Coverage Extension for rendering healthcare services or supplying products. If Coverage Extension is denied, the Adjudicator will not pay for any costs incurred in the delivery of the specified service or product. If the Coverage Extension is granted, limits such as maximum amount, maximum quantity, timeframes and other limits may be included in the response.

Description

This model represents a message used to submit a Coverage Extension Request from a Provider (e.g. individual practitioner, healthcare facility, medical goods and supplies purveyor) to an Insurance Carrier (e.g. jurisdictional medical services plan, insurance organization, workers compensation organization).

An Insurance Carrier may delegate performance of this function to an Adjudicator (agent of the Insurance Carrier). Subsequent discussions only note Provider and Adjudicator (not Insurance Carrier).

It is to obtain extension of the insurance coverage to include the specified services or supply of specified products. This is required when the products or services are not normally covered. Only in certain circumstances that are specified and confirmed by the practitioner, will the items be covered. The coverage may be specified more generically than in an authorization. Quantities and costing are optional in the request.

The core class referenced in the RMIM is the InvoiceElement, cloned as the InvoiceElementOrderGroup and InvoiceElementOrderDetail.

The message structure is the same as the Authorization Request including specification of the subject, PolicyOrAccount (insurance), FinancialContract, HealthDocumentAttachment and A_Billable act.

It is the result of a request for insurance coverage extension for specified services or products.

The coverage extension response will specify approval/denial of the extension and possibly limits to the coverage. These are specified as AdjudicationResultsInformation item (OBS: observations) values as pertinent information to the AdjudicationResult.

The core classes referenced in the RMIM are the InvoiceElement, cloned as the InvoiceElementOrderGroup and InvoiceElementOrderDetail. These specify the items that coverage will be extended to and the billable act may provide further clinical details.

The message structure is the same as the Authorization Results without all of the details.
