January 17, 2024

In keeping with our commitment of promoting continuous quality improvement for services provided to Wellcare Kentucky members, effective February 1, 2024, Wellcare Kentucky has expanded its partnership with National Imaging Associates, Inc.1 (NIA) to implement a Musculoskeletal (MSK) Management Program.

This program includes prior authorization for non-emergent MSK procedures including: Expanded outpatient, interventional pain management services (IPM); inpatient and outpatient hip, knee, shoulder, lumbar and cervical spine surgeries. This decision is consistent with industry-wide efforts to ensure clinically appropriate quality of care and to manage the increasing utilization of these services

Wellcare Kentucky and NIA welcome providers to attend an upcoming provider education webinar on the NIA MSK Management Program prior authorization process.
