Emergency Care
In the event of a life-threatening emergency, visit one of the hospital emergency rooms participating in the GHC Select Plan Network. If that is not possible, proceed immediately to the nearest hospital emergency room. In both situations, contact the GHC-SCW Care Management Department at (608) 257-5294 or toll-free at (800) 605-4327, and request Care Management within 48 hours of receiving emergency services or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.
Prior Authorization
Prior Authorization is the process by which GHC-SCW provides prior written approval for coverage of specific benefits, treatments, Durable and Disposable Medical Equipment (DME), Prescription Drugs and supplies. The purpose of Prior Authorization is to determine and authorize the following:
- The specific type and extent of care, Durable and Disposable Medical Equipment, Prescription Drug or supply that is necessary.
- The number of visits, or the period of time, during which care will be provided.
- The Provider to whom the Member is being referred.
- Whether the Member should receive coverage for the services from an out-of-network Provider because necessary services are not available from an in-network Provider.
If Prior Authorization is not received prior to the date of service and/or receipt of supplies, your Provider should contact GHC-SCW’s Care Management Department for a determination of Medical Necessity. The Prior Authorization lists may differ depending on your health plan. Please contact Care Management at (608) 257-5294.
