Date: 06/16/2017

Sunflower Health Plan/Cenpatico will be modifying some of the prior authorization requirements for outpatient behavioral health services. Beginning July 1, 2017 the service codes listed below in the table will be impacted. We will let the current authorizations run out and if additional services are needed, they will be authorized based on the proration of the remainder of the year (6 months). Beginning January 1, 2018, these services will be authorized as listed in the new PA requirement column. Any requests that come in after July 1, 2017, will be based on the new prior authorization guidelines and will be prorated for the remainder of calendar year 2017.
