130 CMR, § 414.419

Current through Register 1536, December 6, 2024
Section 414.419 - Denial of Services and Administrative Review
(A) A failure or refusal by an independent nurse to furnish services that have been ordered by the member's attending physician and that are within the range of payable services is not an action by the MassHealth agency or its designee that a member may appeal, but such failure or refusal constitutes a violation of 130 CMR 414.000 for which administrative sanctions may be imposed.
(B) When an independent nurse believes that services ordered by the attending physician are not payable under 130 CMR 414.000, the independent nurse must refer the matter to the MassHealth agency for a payment decision. If and to the extent the MassHealth agency determines that the ordered services are payable, the independent nurse must provide those services.
