Changes in Payer Policies Month2Month

[Nick D]

Hello All,

Anyone have an effective and/or centralized way of staying informed on payer policy updates or changes? I need a centralized bulletin for Commercial Plans with Behavioral Health.

I.e. It seem the new UHC policy on Fully Insured Plans released on 6/15/21 but I did not come across it until a week later!

I am not aware of any centralized way to be informed of all insurance carriers in one place.  The only thing I can think of is if the provider belongs to any group such as American Association of Psychologists, or something similar, they usually put out an email blast when there are changes to the mental health field.  Otherwise, we just sign up for email notifications from each carrier.
