AutoAuth
® Update
Thank you to all providers who are using our AutoAuth® online pre-authorization system! Use of the AutoAuth system is not required for pre-authorization requests. We do, however, encourage you to use the system for faster and smoother pre-authorizations.
AutoAuth is available 24 hours a day and is easily accessed through the My Account provider portal at QualChoice.com. Documentation can be submitted with the click of a button, and most authorizations are immediate. Reminder: Joint replacements may be authorized via AutoAuth, as well as many other services. See all.
Home Sleep Studies
Home sleep studies must be performed by a Joint Commission-accredited ambulatory Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF). If obstructive sleep apnea is documented, a CPAP device (E0601) can be prescribed for home use unless sleep lab titration due to severity of OSA or other complicating factors is recommended.
In-home sleep studies (G0399) or other unattended sleep studies (95800, 95806) are available in Arkansas without pre-authorization through Instant Diagnostic Systems (800-355-0691) or VirtuOx (877-337-7111).
Pre-authorization is only required if more than 2 studies are performed in 12 months.
If patient has significant illness such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, or others, then OSA may be diagnosed in a sleep lab and will require pre-authorization.
Complete Provider Resource began contacting QualChoice providers in July to request member records from January 1 to December 31, 2017 for the Initial Validation Audit (IVA), in compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Thank you for your cooperation in this important time-sensitive request.
