1 evicore Healthcare needs to collect sufficient clinical history and treatment plan information relevant to a request for radiation therapy treatment to establish the medical necessity of the service. evicore Healthcare has provided a packet of cancer specific worksheets that will help you organize the information necessary to complete a medical necessity review of a radiation therapy treatment plan. The worksheets will guide you in preparing the specific information that will be collected on the phone or through the website submission portal. These worksheets can be faxed to to ensure proper medical necessity determination. The most efficient way for a physician to obtain a medical necessity determination is to initiate a web request for a Radiation Therapy Treatment Plan by visiting the Medsolutions website: To initiate a telephonic request for a Radiation Therapy Treatment Plan, please dial: and follow the prompts to initiate a new radiation therapy treatment medical necessity determination request.
