Medical Review Process

Medical review is conducted to confirm the medical necessity of treatments or services rendered, as well as the appropriateness of the care setting. Medical review requires evaluation of specific clinical information on-site, over the telephone, or via written communication. Medical Review Nurses compile all pertinent clinical information gathered from the treating practitioners/staff, review against the medical necessity decision criteria and consider individual patient needs. Once complete, the Medical Review Nurse confirms medical necessity, the appropriateness of the care setting, and authorizes the requested service. When the Medical Review Nurse is not able to confirm the medical necessity and appropriateness of care setting, the case is referred to a physician. The Medical Director makes the final decision.

Children’s Mercy Family Health Partners does not provide financial or other types of incentives to practitioners, employees, or other individuals that encourage decisions that result in underutilization.

If you would like to discuss a decision with Children’s Mercy Family Health Partners’ Medical Director, you may call the Prior Authorization Department at 1-888-691-4874 and ask to speak with the Medical Director.

Providers and/or members have the right to a copy of the criteria used in making decisions about requests. If you would like a copy of the criteria, please contact the Prior Authorization Department at 1-888-691-4874 or fax your request to 1-877-9366. Children’s Mercy Family Health Partners will mail or fax you a written copy of the criteria within three (3) business days of your request.
