Who to contact

Assigned ISC, provider billing or intake contact, and DDD for unresolved authorization questions.

Step by step

  1. Match the proposed service to the current official rate material.
  2. Ask the ISC to explain the individual authorization and budget effect.
  3. Ask the provider to confirm the authorized unit, schedule, start date, and any permitted charge in writing.

Expected next

A written authorization and implementation record or a clear explanation of the remaining decision.

Save this proof

Rate source and effective date, service and unit, authorization, budget impact, provider confirmation, schedule, and start date.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the ISC and provider to reconcile any conflict before service begins; preserve the notice if the issue is an adverse decision.
