Wellpoint Medical Policies and Clinical UM Guidelines

Several factors impact whether a service or procedure is covered under a member’s beneļ¬t plan. Medical Policies and Clinical Utilization Management (UM) Guidelines are two resources that help us determine if a procedure is medically necessary. These guidelines are available to you as a reference when interpreting claim decisions.
