When deciding cverage, the member-specific benefit plan dcument must be referenced. The terms f the member-specific benefit plan dcument [e.g., Certificate f Cverage (COC), Schedule f Benefits (SOB), and/r Summary Plan Descriptin (SPD)] may differ greatly frm the standard benefit plan upn which this Cverage Determinatin Guideline is based. In the event f a cnflict, the member s specific benefit plan dcument supersedes this Cverage Determinatin Guideline. All reviewers must first identify member eligibility, the member-specific benefit plan cverage, and any federal r state regulatry requirements that supersede the COC/SPD prir t using this Cverage Determinatin Guideline. Other Plicies and Cverage Determinatin Guidelines may apply. Optum reserves the right, in its sle discretin, t mdify its Plicies and Guidelines as necessary. This Cverage Determinatin Guideline is prvided fr infrmatinal purpses. It des nt cnstitute medical advice. Optum may als use tls develped by third parties that are intended t be used in cnnectin with the independent prfessinal medical judgment f a qualified health care prvider and d nt cnstitute the practice f medicine r medical advice. BENEFIT CONSIDERATIONS Befre using this guideline, please check the member s specific benefit plan requirements and any federal r state mandates, if applicable. Pre-Service Ntificatin Admissins t an inpatient, residential treatment center, intensive utpatient, hme-based utpatient, r a partial hspital/day treatment prgram require pre-service ntificatin. Ntificatin f a scheduled admissin must ccur at least five (5) business days befre admissin. Ntificatin f an unscheduled admissin (including Emergency admissins) shuld ccur as sn as is reasnably pssible. Benefits may be reduced if Optum is nt ntified f an admissin t these levels f care. Check the member s specific benefit plan dcument fr the applicable penalty and prvisin fr a grace perid befre applying a penalty fr failure t ntify Optum as required.

2 The lack f a specific exclusin fr a service des nt necessarily mean that the service is cvered. Fr example, depending n the specific plan requirements, services that are incnsistent with Level f Care Guidelines and/r prevailing medical standards and clinical guidelines may be excluded. Please refer t the member s benefit dcument fr specific plan requirements. Essential Health Benefits fr Individual and Small Grup Fr plan years beginning n r after January 1, 2014, the Affrdable Care Act f 2010 (ACA) requires fully insured nn-grandfathered individual and small grup plans (inside and utside f Exchanges) t prvide cverage fr ten categries f Essential Health Benefits ( EHBs ). Large grup plans (bth self-funded and fully insured), and small grup ASO plans, are nt subject t the requirement t ffer cverage fr EHBs. Hwever, if such plans chse t prvide cverage fr benefits which are deemed EHBs, the ACA requires all dllar limits n thse benefits t be remved n all Grandfathered and Nn-Grandfathered plans. The determinatin f which benefits cnstitute EHBs is made n a state by state basis. As such, when using this guideline, it is imprtant t refer t the member-specific benefit dcument t determine benefit cverage. COVERAGE RATIONALE Effective and efficient treatment is facilitated by the clarity and accuracy f the diagnsis. An Other Specified r Unspecified diagnsis is used when a cmprehensive evaluatin and further diagnstic specificity is nt pssible. Clinicians assign these diagnses when there are diagnstic features f a disrder within a diagnstic class but the presenting signs, symptms and features d nt meet the full criteria fr a specific disrder. The Other Specified Disrder categry allws the clinician t cmmunicate the specific reasn that the presentatin des nt meet the criteria fr any specific categry within a diagnstic class. This is dne by recrding the name f the categry, fllwed by the specific reasn (Diagnstic and Statistical Manual f Mental Disrders, 5th ed.; DSM-5; American Psychiatric Assciatin, p.15, 2013). The fllwing is an example f Other and Unspecified Disrders: A member has clinically significant depressive symptms lasting 4 weeks but symptmtlgy falls shrt f the diagnstic threshld fr a majr depressive episde, then the clinician wuld recrd Other Specified Depressive Disrder, depressive episde with insufficient symptms (DSM-5, p. 15, 2013). The use f the Unspecified Disrder in the current editin f the Diagnstic and Statistical Manual f the American Psychiatric Assciatin is excluded. It is given when the clinician des nt specify the reasn that the criteria are nt met within a diagnstic class. (DSM-5, p. 16, 2013). The fllwing is an example f a circumstance under which mental health treatment fr Other and Unspecified Disrders are excluded: In an emergency department setting, nly the mst prminent symptm expressins assciated with a particular categry are identified (e.g., delusins, hallucinatins, mania, depressin, anxiety, r substance intxicatin) rather than assigning the Other Specified Disrder (DSM-5, p. 20). Benefits are available fr cvered services that are nt therwise limited r excluded. Services shuld be cnsistent with evidence-based interventins and clinical best practices as described in Part III, and shuld be f sufficient intensity t address the member's needs (Certificate f Cverage, 2007, 2009 & 2011). The requested service r prcedure must be reviewed against the language in the member's benefit dcument. When the requested service r prcedure is limited r excluded frm the member s benefit dcument, r is therwise defined differently, it is the terms f the member's benefit dcument that prevails. Per the specific requirements f the plan, health care services r supplies may nt be cvered when incnsistent with generally accepted standards and clinical guidelines: Optum Level f Care Guidelines UnitedHealthcare Benefit Plan Definitins Evidence-Based Clinical Guidelines Other and Unspecified Disrders Page 2 f 7

A Cvered Health Service is a health care service r supply described in Sectin 1: What's Cvered--Benefits as a Cvered Health Service, which is nt excluded under Sectin 2: What's Nt Cvered--Exclusins. Fr plans using 2007 and 2009 generic UnitedHealthcare COC/SPD, unless therwise specified Cvered Health Service(s) Thse health services, including services, supplies, r Pharmaceutical Prducts, which we determine t be all f the fllwing: Prvided fr the purpse f preventing, diagnsing r treating a sickness, injury, mental illness, substance abuse, r their symptms.

Nt therwise excluded in the Certificate f Cverage under Sectin 2: Exclusins and Limitatins. In applying the abve definitin, "scientific evidence" and "prevailing medical standards" shall have the fllwing meanings: "Scientific evidence" means the results f cntrlled clinical trials r ther studies published in peer-reviewed, medical literature generally recgnized by the relevant medical specialty cmmunity. "Prevailing medical standards and clinical guidelines" means natinally recgnized prfessinal standards f care including, but nt limited t, natinal cnsensus statements, natinally recgnized clinical guidelines, and natinal specialty sciety guidelines. Fr plans using 2011 and mre recent generic UnitedHealthcare COC/SPD, unless therwise specified Cvered Health Care Service(s) - health care services, including supplies r Pharmaceutical Prducts, which we determine t be all f the fllwing: Medically Necessary.

6 If n credible scientific evidence is available, then standards that are based n Dctr specialty sciety recmmendatins r prfessinal standards f care may be cnsidered. We have the right t cnsult expert pinin in determining whether health care services are Medically Necessary.

We develp and maintain clinical plicies that describe the Generally Accepted Standards f Medical Practice scientific evidence, prevailing medical standards and clinical guidelines supprting ur determinatins regarding specific services. EVIDENCE-BASED CLINICAL GUIDELINES A. Initial evaluatin cmmn criteria and best practices See Cmmn Criteria and Best Practices fr All Levels f Care, available at: Optum recgnizes the American Psychiatric Assciatin s Practice Guidelines fr the Psychiatric Evaluatin f Adults (2016): > Psychiatrists > Practice > Clinical Practice Guidelines When establishing a diagnsis, cnsider the fllwing: An Other Specified r Unspecified diagnsis is nt the same as a prvisinal diagnsis. A prvisinal diagnsis (a.k.a. wrking diagnsis ) is given when there is limited infrmatin that prevents a clinician frm establishing a firm principal DSM diagnsis. A prvisinal diagnsis is applied when: There is a strng presumptin that the full criteria f a DSM classified disrder will ultimately be met, but nt enugh infrmatin is available t make a firm diagnsis (i.e., a full histry is needed t establish if full criteria are met) (DSM-5, p. 23, 2013). Differential diagnsis is dependent exclusively n the duratin f the illness (i.e., remissin cannt be cnfirmed until 6 mnths has lapsed) (DSM-5, p. 23, 2013). Carefully differentiate symptms that supprt an Other Specified r Unspecified diagnsis frm thse that: Supprt a prvisinal diagnsis ; r Meet the full criteria fr a specific disrder. Further assessment shuld cnfirm whether the member s symptms cntinue t warrant an Other Specified r Unspecified diagnsis (e.g., there, is uncertainty abut whether the symptms are substance induced r due t a general medical cnditin, there is insufficient pprtunity t cmplete data cllectin, r there is incnsistent r cntradictry infrmatin). Cverage fr an Other Specified may be indicated when: The member s diagnsis meets the DSM definitin f a Other Specified Disrder r Unspecified Disrder ; The member s diagnsis des nt meet the full criteria fr a specific disrder; There will be further assessment t cnfirm whether the member s symptms cntinue t warrant an Other Specified diagnsis due t: Uncertainty abut whether the symptms are substance induced r due t a general medical cnditin, Insufficient pprtunity t cmplete data cllectin, r Incnsistent r cntradictry infrmatin. Cverage fr Other Specified may be reviewed against the Cverage Determinatin Guideline f the specific cnditin that cincides with the Other Specified (e.g., Majr Depressive Disrder will be used t review a diagnsis f Other Specified Depressive Disrder ). When treating an Other Specified r Unspecified disrder, cnsider using evidence-based practices which are recmmended fr the specific cnditin which is mst like the Other Specified r Unspecified disrder. B. Treatment planning cmmn criteria and best practices See Cmmn Criteria and Best Practices fr All Levels f Care, available at: Optum recgnizes the American Psychiatric Assciatin s Practice Guidelines fr the Psychiatric Evaluatin f Adults (2016): > Psychiatrists > Practice > Clinical Practice Guidelines Other and Unspecified Disrders Page 6 f 7

7 The fllwing are examples f services that are incnsistent with the Level f Care Guidelines and Best Practice Guidelines (nt an all-inclusive list): Services that deviate frm the indicatins fr cverage summarized in this dcument. The use f Other Specified when the presenting signs, symptms and functinal impairments demnstrate evidence t supprt the full criteria f a DSM classified cnditin. The use f an Other Specified diagnsis when a prvisinal diagnsis is mre apprpriate. Use f an Other Specified diagnsis when all general medical cnditins and substance induced cnditins have nt been ruled ut. Use f an Other Specified diagnsis when there has been sufficient pprtunity t gather data r clarify incnsistent r cntradictry infrmatin. C.
