Authorization
Practitioners can submit treatment plans for authorization via a secure Internet connection. Although the format is different, the required information is similar to the BHP Treatment Plan and supplemental forms. In many cases, the provider will receive authorization for services within an hour. If the case requires peer review, the provider will receive notification within two business days of the approval or denial. For subsequent requests on the same patient, the practitioner can access the previous treatment plan, modify it, save it as a new document and submit it.

Security
BHP has taken into account all state and federal security, including HIPPA, requirements in designing the on-line registration and authorization processes. Our system security meets these requirements.

A Few Points to Keep in Mind:

• Both on-line processes will not accept incomplete data.
• BHP’s Reviewers are available to discuss any case or utilization decision at the request of the practitioner.
• The Practitioner is able to print out any clinical information they enter.
• The Practitioner will receive notification within the software of the outcome of the registration or prior authorization request.
• For all utilization decisions, BHP sends its standard authorization or denial letter, as applicable.
