Provider Notice 2020-04: Musculoskeletal Surgical Quality and Safety Program
Date: 07/28/20
Allwell is pleased to announce the launch of a new and innovative Surgical Quality and Safety Management program, effective September 1, 2020. The program works collaboratively with physicians to promote patient safety through the practice of high quality and cost-effective care for Allwell members undergoing Musculoskeletal Surgical Procedures.
- Administrative Tools to support an efficient, user-friendly authorization process for procedures requiring precertification, in addition to recommended medical necessity determinations for procedures which do not require precertification. Easy and efficient post-procedural documentation submission which will be shared with Allwell to facilitate timely claims payment.
- Specialized “Peer to Peer” Engagement where a TurningPoint physician from the same specialty engages the provider regarding authorization requests that require additional clinical discussion to validate the clinical appropriateness of the procedure specific to the patient’s needs and current condition.
- Clinical Support Tools to assist in the tracking and monitoring of patient outcomes and education around patient risks and preventive measures to better coordinate care for the member and reduce infection rates and complications due to patient comorbidities.
- Provider Performance Incentives for providers who comply with program requirements to practice high quality, cost effective care.
- Reporting, and Analytics that gives providers greater visibility and transparency into their performance compared to the practice as a whole, as well as the rest of the market.
- FDA Recall Tracking and Monitoring to facilitate timely and consistent notification to the Physician, patient, and to Allwell when a member has received or needs a revision surgery due to a Class I or II FDA device recall.
This correspondence serves as notice under your Participating Allwell Provider Agreement of these program changes, effective September 1, 2020. Physicians will be able to begin submitting requests to TurningPoint for Prior Authorization beginning on August 17, 2020, for dates of service on or after September 1, 2020. While it is the responsibility of the rendering physician to obtain prior authorization, facility providers are encouraged to contact TurningPoint to verify the prior authorization has been complete for Allwell members prior to admission.
Prior Authorization for medical necessity and appropriate length of stay (when applicable) has been delegated to TurningPoint Healthcare Solutions, LLC. and will be required for the following surgical procedures in both inpatient and outpatient settings:
