Read the approval letter and confirm the authorized service, conditions, and required documents. Approval does not mean therapy or evaluation has already been scheduled.
Ask providers whether they accept Remedio Provisional, their availability, service location, and requirements. Keep responses, including lack of availability or inability to provide the needed service.
Save scheduling confirmation and track services received. If no provider is available or the authorization differs from what was approved, report that in writing. The mechanism's scope and any claim for purchased services depend on the circumstances and authorization.
Do not let approval lapse while finding a provider
Article 6.1(K) of the Remedio Provisional rules allows up to 90 days after approval to coordinate contracting. Failure to coordinate within that period results in cancellation of approval and requires a new application. Record the date, contact providers promptly, and keep evidence of each effort. If none is available, report it in writing before the deadline and request instructions and assistance.
The answer for your situation depends on the facts and records. An inquiry does not suspend legal deadlines or guarantee that the office will accept the case.
