InterQual update

AllWays Health Partners’ Drug fee schedules to be updated
AllWays Health Partners reviews its drug fee schedules quarterly to ensure that they are current, comprehensive, and consistent with industry standards, to the extent supported by its systems. In most cases, changes involve adding fees for new or existing codes, to supplement the fees already on the fee schedule.
The next update will occur on October 1, 2022. Changes may involve both new and existing CPT and HCPCS codes and will include the planned quarterly update to physician-administered drugs, immune globulin, vaccine, and toxoid fees.
