Fecha: 29/02/24

In keeping with our commitment of promoting continuous quality improvement for services provided to Sunflower’s KanCare, Ambetter from Sunflower Health Plan, Wellcare by Allwell and Wellcare Complete members (known collectively as Sunflower Health Plan), effective April 1, 2024, Sunflower Health Plan has entered into an agreement with Evolent (formerly National Imaging Associates, Inc.) to implement a Musculoskeletal (MSK) Management Program.

This program includes prior authorization for non-emergent MSK procedures including: outpatient interventional pain management services (IPM); and inpatient and outpatient hip, knee, shoulder, lumbar and cervical spine surgeries.
