Program Implementation Delayed: TurningPoint Surgical and Implantable Device Management Program for Spine Services

We are delaying the previously announced February 1, 2022 expansion of our Surgical and Implantable Device Management Program to include Spine Services for Horizon’s commercial (including certain Administrative Services Only (ASO) employer groups) and Medicare Advantage plans, including Braven Health℠.

The new effective date of this program expansion is April 1, 2022.

Please continue to work with eviCore healthcare for PA/MND requests/reviews for impacted spine-related services until further notice.

The expansion of the TurningPoint program to include management of spine-related services is subject to the approval of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. If regulatory approval is not obtained by April 1, 2022, the TurningPoint expansion and the sun setting of eviCore’s management of spine-related services will be delayed, and further communications will be issued.
