Concurrent Review. (1) When We Authorize a Member’s Inpatient stay, We will Authorize his stay in the Hospital for a certain number of days. If the Member has not been discharged on or before the last Authorized day, and the Member needs additional days to be Authorized, the Member must make sure his Physician or Hospital contacts Our Care Management Department to request Concurrent Review for Authorization of additional days. This request for continued hospitalization must be made on or before the Member’s last Authorized day so We can review and respond to the request that day. If We Authorized the request, We will again Authorize a certain number of days, repeating this procedure until the Member is either discharged or the Member’s continued stay request is denied.
