Utilization Management Affirmative Statement Regarding Incentives<br />

This statement is intended to comply with the Code <strong>of</strong> Federal Regulations 42 (CFR)<br />

422.208 regarding Utilization Management Affirmative Statement Regarding<br />

Incentives.<br />

In accordance with the regulations above, <strong>Fidelis</strong> requires that all utilization-related<br />

decisions regarding member coverage and/or services must be based on<br />

appropriateness <strong>of</strong> care and service. Financial rewards or incentives must not influence<br />

any utilization decision. To assure that the risks <strong>of</strong> underutilization are considered, no<br />

rewards or incentives can be issued by <strong>Fidelis</strong> that will discourage appropriate care and<br />

services to members.<br />

<strong>Fidelis</strong> does not reward providers, employees, or other individuals for issuing denials <strong>of</strong><br />

coverage, service, or care. Denials for medical service requests are reviewed by<br />

medical directors and are based strictly upon review <strong>of</strong> the available clinical information,<br />

clinical judgment and plan benefits.
