Thank you for being a valued participating provider. We are writing to inform you of an important update to the prior authorization requirements for our Health Partners Plans CHIP product.

Effective October 1, 2024, Health Partners Plans CHIP will no longer require prior authorization for Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech Therapy (ST) services for CHIP members when provided by a participating provider.

Prior authorization guidelines must be followed for PT, OT, ST services for all other products (Health Partners Plans Medicaid, Jefferson Health Plans Medicare Advantage and Individual and Family Plans), and for all non-participating providers.

If you have any questions, please visit the prior authorization page of our website at healthpartnersplans.com/providers/prior-authorization, or contact our Provider Services Helpline at 1-888-991-9023 (Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.).
