Excepciones a los tiempos de espera para las citas
Plan providers may extend the wait time for an appointment if they have determined and noted in the member’s record that a longer wait time will not be detrimental to the member’s health.
Plan providers may also schedule appointments in advance for preventative and periodic follow up care services (e.g. standing referrals to specialists for chronic conditions, periodic visits to monitor and treat pregnancy, cardiac, or mental health conditions, and laboratory and radiological monitoring for recurrence of disease) consistent with professionally recognized standards of practice, and exceed the listed wait times.
