The clinical review criteria expressed belw reflects hw EmblemHealth determines whether certain services r supplies are medically necessary. EmblemHealth established the clinical review criteria based upn a review f currently available clinical infrmatin (including clinical utcme studies in the peer-reviewed published medical literature, regulatry status f the technlgy, evidence-based guidelines f public health and health research agencies, evidence-based guidelines and psitins f leading natinal health prfessinal rganizatins, views f physicians practicing in relevant clinical areas, and ther relevant factrs).
