24.3.1.2 Authorization of Retroactive Eligibility

After the client's eligibility is on TMHP's eligibility file, the agency has 95 days from the add date to obtain authorization for services already rendered. The agency must contact TMHP Home Health Services Authorization Department to obtain authorization for current services within three business days of the client's eligibility being added to TMHP's eligibility file. The nurse who made the initial assessment visit in the client's home should make this call.
