California handbook supplement now online for 2024

The California provider handbook supplement and related appendices are now online on Magellan’s* provider website. In California, Magellan currently manages benefits for members of the following plans:

  • Blue Shield of California
  • Health Plan of San Mateo
  • Positive Healthcare California

Contracted providers must follow the policies and procedures outlined in handbook supplements, as well as those in the Magellan National Provider Handbook.

We encourage you to review the handbook and supplement on a regular basis and especially when there are updates.

The updates for 2024 include:

  • Guidance for billing services provided by supervised associates/interns, in compliance with Senate Bill 855.
  • New requirements for California medical information privacy involving sensitive services and protected individuals, under Assembly Bill 1184.

You can find the updated California supplement under State-Specific Information by choosing State-, Plan- and EAP-Specific Information under our News & Publications menu item, or at MagellanProvider.com/California.

 

*In California, Magellan does business as Human Affairs International of California, Inc. and/or Magellan Health Services of California, Inc. – Employer Services.
