Medicaid Pre-Auth
COVID-19
BHP is complying with the Ohio Department of Medicaid’s mandates to reduce barriers for Providers during the COVID 19 emergency. Changes to our systems are in process. If you are uncertain whether a PA is required, please review the ODM Guidance, or call 866-246-4359.
All attempts are made to provide the most current information on the Pre-Auth Needed Tool. However, this does NOT guarantee payment. Payment of claims is dependent on eligibility, covered benefits, provider contracts, correct coding and billing practices. For specific details, please refer to the provider manual. If you are uncertain that prior authorization is needed, please submit a request for an accurate response.
