New AIM Musculoskeletal (MSK) Program - Delay in launch for Fully Insured until June 4, 2018

2 The December 2017 edition of the Network Update announced that AIM Specialty Health (AIM), a separate company, would perform prior authorization reviews of certain surgeries of the spine and joints, as well as interventional pain treatment to determine medical necessity for fully insured BCBSGA members. Please be aware that this program has been delayed. We anticipate the new implementation date will be for requests received on and after June 4, The new musculoskeletal program includes review of the level of care/setting, pre-operative days, and expected length of stay for medical necessity using AIM clinical guidelines which have been adopted by BCBSGA. All codes and clinical guidelines included in the musculoskeletal program can be found on the AIM MSK website. If there are any additional delays to this program, we will publish notification to providers in a future Network Update.
