NOTE: The CCHP BadgerCare Plus No Prior Authorization Required List has been removed from our website. Please refer to the ForwardHealth Max Fee Schedule to determine if a code is covered for BCSP or the CCHP prior authorization list to determine if a code requires an authorization. If the code is on the ForwardHealth Max Fee Schedule and is not on the CCHP prior authorization list, then the code is no prior authorization.

Affirmative Statement 
Chorus Community Health Plans (CCHP) wants its members to get the best possible care when they need it most. To ensure this, we use a auto authorization process, which is part of our Utilization Management (UM) program. UM decision-making is based only on appropriateness of care and service, and existence of coverage. CCHP does not specifically reward practitioners or other individuals for issuing denials of coverage. Financial incentives for UM decision makers do not encourage decisions that result in underutilization.
