Coverage Determinations & Exceptions

What is a Coverage Determination?

A coverage determination is any decision (an approval or denial) that SelectCare makes when a member asks for coverage or payment of a drug that they believe SelectCare should provide.

  • Physicians and members can ask for a coverage determination.
  • Members can also appoint someone (such as a relative) to request a coverage determination on their behalf.
  • You can ask for a standard coverage determination, SelectCare will give you and the member a decision in 72 hours.
  • You can also ask for an expedited "fast" coverage determination if you or the member believes that their health could be seriously harmed by waiting up to 72 hours for a decision, SelectCare will give you and the member an answer in 24 hours.

What type of Coverage Determination do I need?
There are different types of coverage determinations. Please click on the coverage determination type below for more information about the most commonly requested coverage determinations.

What can be done if a Coverage Determination is denied?
If SelectCare denies the coverage determination the member or their representative has the right to request a redetermination appeal. Physicians have the right to request an expedited redetermination appeal on a member's behalf. Please see our section on Appeals and Grievances for information about member appeal rights, or contact our Member Services Department 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., seven days a week.
