Medical Coverage Guidelines

Find rules and policies for how we cover medical services.

Medical Coverage policies are developed to communicate Samaritan Health Plans decisions about coverage and benefits for various medical services. Determinations are made after careful consideration of evidence, insurance plan factors, Medicare rules,  community standards, service availability and other applicable factors.

For Samaritan’s Medicare Advantage Health Plans, we use applicable content from Medicare National Coverage Determinations, Local Coverage Determinations and the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual.

CMS Medicare National Coverage Determinations
CMS Medicare Local Coverage Determinations
Medicare Benefit Policy Manual

If there is not a Medicare Guideline (NCD/LCD) available, Samaritan Health Plans will use nationally recognized evidence-based guidelines from MCG Health. Care guidelines from MCG provide evidence-based medicine’s best practices and care plan tools across all areas of treatment, providing clinical decision support and documentation which enables effective transfers between different care settings.

On the rare occasion that no appropriate guideline exists from the sources above, Samaritan Health Plans uses a small number of internally developed Samaritan Health Plans medical coverage policies, listed below:

Advanced Care Planning Policy
Applied Behavioral Analysis
Computer Assisted Surgical Navigational Procedure
Cosmetic and Reconstructive Procedures Policy
Coverage of Routine Care for Members Enrolled in Qualifying Clinical Trials Policy
Drug Testing in the Outpatient Setting
Evaluation of New and Existing Technologies
Genetic Testing
Proprietary Laboratory Analyses
Psychiatric Sub-Acute Admission
Wireless Gastrointestinal Monitoring System
