Ambetter from Meridian Interventional Pain Management Program Provider Educational Webinars

Date: 07/31/24

In an effort to continue promotion of quality improvement for services provided to Ambetter from Meridian members, effective September 1, 2024, Ambetter from Meridian is expanding its existing partnership with Evolent (formerly National Imaging Associates, Inc.) to provide the management and prior authorization of non-emergent outpatient Interventional Pain Management (IPM) procedures. This decision is consistent with industry-wide efforts to ensure clinically appropriate quality of care and to manage the increasing utilization of these services.

Ambetter from Meridian and Evolent welcome providers to attend an upcoming provider education webinar on the Evolent IPM Program prior authorization process. There will be several one-hour long webinar sessions that will take place on the following dates. You will only need to attend one of these educational sessions.
