Under this feature, we are enabling provider now to send Pre-Auth request to Center for National Health Insurance (CNHI) under GlobeMed TPA via NPHIES to submit Emergency and Referral Inpatient Pre-authorizations as well as extending the earlier preauthorization with new services (CNHI Pre-authorization Follow UP Request). The healthcare provider may not receive real time final decision from payer (Auto adjudication) rather request can be Queued by NPHIES or Pended by Payer on a successful transaction.
The Request CNHI Preauthorization feature also enables healthcare providers to: -
- Receive Communication Request for a submitted CNHI Pre-authorization request from Payer
- Initiate a Communication to Payer (Center for National Health Insurance (CNHI) under GlobeMed TPA)
- Cancel or Nullify the CNHI authorization request
- Receive notification for processed authorization
- Make an inquiry against submitted CNHI Pre-authorization
- To do status check against submitted CNHI Pre-authorization
