Organization Determination

What is an organization determination?

An organization determination is a coverage decision we make about your medical services, behavioral health services, or long-term services and supports (LTSS). If you or your health care provider are not sure if a medical service, behavioral health service, or LTSS service is covered, either you, your provider, or someone you name can ask for an coverage decision before your provider gives the medical service, behavioral health service, or LTSS service. The person you name would be your appointed representative.

See how you can appoint a representative to ask for a coverage decision for you, and then complete an Appointment of Representative Form (PDF) and return it to us.
