Clinical, Payment & Pharmacy Policies

New Technology

Health technology is always changing and we want to grow with it. If we think a new medical advancement can benefit our members, we evaluate it for coverage.

These advancements include:

  • New technology
  • New medical procedures
  • New drugs
  • New devices
  • New application of existing technology

Sometimes, our medical director and/or medical management staff will identify technological advances that could benefit our members. The Clinical Policy Committee (CPC) reviews requests for coverage and decides whether we should change any of our benefits to include the new technology. If the CPC doesn’t review a request for coverage of new technology, our Medical Director will review the request and make a one-time determination. The CPC may then review the new technology request at a future meeting.
