POET Is Seeing a Trend, UPDATE
On January 5th, Sir Seymore posted on Ink that POET is seeing a trend from Physician Offices that are trying to get a referral from Cigna MA.
Please scroll down to review that post for details.
POET received this information from Cigna MA: “Unfortunately, we’re experiencing a known enterprise-wide issue within the MHK/HSConnect platform that is affecting how many of our participating specialists are reflecting in the dropdown box or search box when attempting to generate a referral. The MHK/HSConnect team is working towards remediation but I have not yet heard when the expected date for completion might be.”
Just a reminder: SCPs do not need a referral due to the Public Health Emergency (PHE). The PHE has been extended until April 16, 2022.
PCPs and SCPs you are welcome to confirm participation with POET or Leslie.
Per Cigna MA, you should be able to manually enter the specialists’ (SCP) name/NPI for a referral.
