Fidelis Care is implementing changes to our Peer-to-Peer process.
Due to CMS regulations, Fidelis Care is introducing a new Medicare procedure, effective immediately. We will no longer provide a Post-Decision Peer-to-Peer review for services pertaining to Medicare members. It is important to note that submitting a formal appeal will be necessary for any post-decision reviews.
For all other lines of business, Fidelis Care will continue to offer Peer-to-Peer reviews, which may result in a reversal of the initial decision based on the information provided as part of the Peer-to-Peer review. It is important to note that all Peer-to-Peer requests must be submitted within five (5) business days of the initial determination date, and can only be submitted before a formal appeal is requested. After this period, a formal appeal will be required for review and reconsideration of the initial determination. Please note that a formal appeal can be submitted at any time after the initial determination is made, within the allotted regulatory appeal timeframes for the member’s line of business.
