REFERRAL / PREAUTHORIZATION QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE This Quick Reference Guide was created to help Healthcare Resources NW (HRNW) participating providers easily identity when a referral or preauthorization is typically required. This document is not all-inclusive and providers seeking to provide service to HRNW members are encouraged to also review HRNW Policy 700 prior to providing services to any HRNW Member. For a list of par providers, please refer to www.healthcareresourcesnw.com and click on For Providers. Select Medicare Advantage HMO and scroll to Participating Providers. HRNW reserves the right to retrospectively review any and all services provided to HRNW Members for medical necessity. Any services provided to an HRNW Member that are determined to not be medically necessary will not be reimbursed. Providers may appeal any claim denial for lack of medical necessity by submitting to HRNW Claims supporting documentation clearly outlining the reason the provider believes the services were medically necessary. However, a Provider s appeal does not guarantee claim payment. For participating facilities, discharge planning for inpatient admissions will be monitored by Care Management. Important: There is no benefit coverage for a Member s self-referral to a HRNW participating (par) or nonparticipating (non-par) provider. Contact number for HRNW for Utilization or Case Management (877) 261-6991 or Fax (503) 251-6877.
