4 Date January, 2017 Versin 3 February, 2018 Versin 4 Actin/Descriptin i Per State f Hawaii Revised Statutes 432E-1.4, fr cntractual purpses, a health interventin shall be cvered if it is an therwise cvered categry f service, nt specifically excluded, recmmended by the treating licensed health care prvider, and determined by the health plan's medical directr t be medically necessary as defined in subsectin (b). A health interventin may be medically indicated and nt qualify as a cvered benefit r meet the definitin f medical necessity. A managed care plan may chse t cver health interventins that d nt meet the definitin f medical necessity. (b) A health interventin is medically necessary if it is recmmended by the treating physician r treating licensed health care prvider, is apprved by the health plan's medical directr r physician designee, and is: (1) Fr the purpse f treating a medical cnditin; (2) The mst apprpriate delivery r level f service, cnsidering ptential benefits and harms t the patient; (3) Knwn t be effective in imprving health utcmes; prvided that: (A) Effectiveness is determined first by scientific evidence; (B) If n scientific evidence exists, then by prfessinal standards f care; and (C) If n prfessinal standards f care exist r if they exist but are utdated r cntradictry, then by expert pinin; and (4) Cst-effective fr the medical cnditin being treated cmpared t alternative health interventins, including n interventin. Fr purpses f this paragraph, cst-effective shall nt necessarily mean the lwest price. (c) When the treating licensed health care prvider and the health plan's medical directr r physician designee d nt agree n whether a health interventin is medically necessary, a reviewing bdy, whether internal t the plan r external, shall give cnsideratin t, but shall nt be bund by, the recmmendatins f the treating licensed health care prvider and the health plan's medical directr r physician designee. (d) Fr the purpses f this sectin: "Cst-effective" means a health interventin where the benefits and harms relative t the csts represent an ecnmically efficient use f resurces fr patients with the medical cnditin being treated thrugh the health interventin; prvided that the characteristics f the individual patient shall be determinative when applying this criterin t an individual case. "Effective" means a health interventin that may reasnably be expected t prduce the intended results and t have expected benefits that utweigh ptential harmful effects. "Health interventin" means an item r service delivered r undertaken primarily t treat a medical cnditin r t maintain r restre functinal ability. A health interventin is defined nt nly by the interventin itself, but als by the medical cnditin and patient indicatins fr which it is being applied. New interventins fr which clinical trials have nt been cnducted and effectiveness has nt been scientifically established shall be evaluated n the basis f prfessinal standards f care r expert pinin. Fr existing interventins, scientific evidence shall be cnsidered first and, t the greatest extent pssible, shall be the basis fr determinatins f medical necessity. If n scientific evidence is available, prfessinal standards f care shall be cnsidered. If prfessinal standards f care d nt exist r are utdated r cntradictry, decisins abut existing interventins shall be based n expert pinin. Giving pririty t scientific evidence shall nt mean that cverage f existing interventins shall be denied in the absence f cnclusive scientific evidence. Existing interventins may meet the definitin f medical necessity in the absence f scientific evidence if there is a strng cnvictin f effectiveness and benefit expressed thrugh up-t-date and cnsistent prfessinal standards f care, r in the absence f such standards, cnvincing expert pinin. "Health utcmes" mean utcmes that affect health status as measured by the length r quality f a patient's life, primarily as perceived by the patient. "Medical cnditin" means a disease, illness, injury, genetic r cngenital defect, pregnancy, r a bilgical r psychlgical cnditin that lies utside the range f nrmal, age-apprpriate human variatin. "Physician designee" means a physician r ther health care practitiner designated t assist in the decisin-making prcess wh has training and credentials at least equal t the treating licensed health care prvider. "Scientific evidence" means cntrlled clinical trials that either directly r indirectly demnstrate the effect f the interventin n health utcmes. If cntrlled clinical trials are nt available, bservatinal studies that demnstrate a causal relatinship between the interventin and the health utcmes may be used. Partially cntrlled bservatinal studies and uncntrlled clinical series may be suggestive, but d nt by themselves demnstrate a causal relatinship unless the magnitude f the effect bserved exceeds anything that culd be explained either by the natural histry f the medical cnditin r ptential experimental biases. Scientific evidence may be fund in the fllwing and similar surces: (1) Peer-reviewed scientific studies published in r accepted fr publicatin by medical jurnals that meet natinally recgnized requirements fr scientific manuscripts and that submit mst f their published articles fr review by experts wh are nt part f the editrial staff; (2) Peer-reviewed literature, bimedical cmpendia, and ther medical literature that meet the criteria f the Natinal Institutes f Health's Natinal Library f Medicine fr indexing in Index Medicus, Excerpta Medicus (EMBASE), Medline, and MEDLARS database Health Services Technlgy Assessment Research (HSTAR); (3) Medical jurnals recgnized by the Secretary f Health and Human Services under sectin 1861(t)(2) f the Scial Security Act, as amended; (4) Standard reference cmpendia including the American Hspital Frmulary Service-Drug Infrmatin, American Medical Assciatin Drug Evaluatin, American Dental Assciatin Accepted Dental Therapeutics, and United States Pharmacpeia-Drug Infrmatin; Intensive Behavir Therapy fr Autism Spectrum Disrder-Hawaii Medicaid QUEST Cntract Prprietary Infrmatin f Optum.
