Preauthorization Updates – Quarterly Code Updates

10/14/2024

EmblemHealth and ConnectiCare update their claims processing systems based on code updates received from American Medical Association (AMA) CPT® and CMS. Both the AMA and CMS release quarterly updates to their respective code sets. Below are links to the latest preauthorization lists.

We strive to load and configure each code update within 60 days of the update’s effective date. The current process will hold the entire claim if it contains a new code while it is being configured. To avoid delaying critical payments to our providers, we adjudicate the claim for all services except for the new code(s) that need configuration. Once the new CPT® and/or HCPCS codes have been loaded into our claims processing system, we will reprocess the claims to ensure proper adjudication of the claim.
