Provider Webinar for IPM

Date: 02/07/23

In an effort to continue promotion of quality improvement for services provided to Ambetter from Western Sky Community Care members, effective March 1, 2023, Ambetter from Western Sky Community Care is expanding its existing partnership with National Imaging Associates, Inc. (NIA) to provide the management and prior authorization of non-emergent outpatient Interventional Pain Management (IPM) procedures.  This decision is consistent with industry-wide efforts to ensure clinically appropriate quality of care and to manage the increasing utilization of these services.

 

Ambetter from Western Sky Community Care and NIA welcome providers to attend an upcoming provider education webinar on the NIA IPM Program prior authorization process.  There will be several one-hour long webinar sessions that will take place on the following dates.  You will only need to attend one of these educational sessions.
