Utilization Management (Modification) Programs Sample Clauses

Utilization Management (Modification) Programs. General ProvisionsPursuant to OAC rule 5101:3-26-03.1(A)(7), MCPs must implement a utilization management program to maximize the effectiveness of the care provided to members and may develop other utilization management programs, subject to prior approval by ODJFS. For the purposes of this requirement, the specific utilization management programs which require ODJFS prior-approval are those programs designed by the MCP with the purpose of redirecting or restricting access to a particular service or service location.
