Appendix B: Scenarios Magellan s Mixed Services Guidelines provide direction in distinguishing payer/clinical responsibility for cases that may fall into the area between Behavioral Health responsibility and Medical/Surgical responsibility. Determination of fiscal responsibility can best be determined by the use of the Magellan Mixed Services Guidelines (ICD-10-CM, CPT service, guideline grid, and clinical scenarios) in their entirety. Users are encouraged to have familiarity with all four parts of the complete mixed services protocol. These protocols represent Magellan s position in making claims determinations. We recognize that the protocols, if not adopted in their entirety by client organizations, can act as the template for negotiating a customized Mixed Service Guidelines protocols. The following case scenarios highlight examples of situations in which the Magellan Mixed Services Guidelines have been applied to common clinical and administrative situations. These case scenarios are not meant to be all-inclusive, but are representative of the most common areas that need to be discussed at the implementation of new contracts and referred to as necessary when making determinations about covered services.
