In Vitro Procedures Requiring Documentation If Not Precertified

HMSA has contracted with in vitro fertilization specialists in Hawaii to provide all services associated with the procedure based on negotiated rates. In vitro fertilization must be precertified.

However, should a member receive services outside the state of Hawaii and if the services were not precertified, the provider of the services must submit a copy of the patient's history and physical explaining how the patient meets the criteria stated in In Vitro Fertilization.
