Truly emergent medical treatment should never be withheld in order to complete precertification (which is only one component of the health plan's coverage determination). Anytime that the health of the patient would be placed in serious jeopardy, serious impairment of bodily functions, or a serious dysfunction of a body organ or part could result from a delay in care, then care would be considered truly emergent. The medical professionals rendering care to patients are solely responsible for ensuring that care is delivered in accordance with patient needs and should never make treatment decisions, especially in truly emergent situations, based on payment related (such as precertification) issues. Please be aware that precertification is not a guarantee of benefits, eligibilty, payment, nor is it a medical treatment decision or advice.
