covered with conditions, or not covered. The HTCC determines the conditions, if any, under which the service will be included as a covered benefit and, if covered, the criteria the plan must use to decide whether the service is medically necessary. Criteria established by the HTCC take precedence over Regence’s medical policies. When the HTCC determines that a service is not covered, then the service is not covered by the plan. Some HTCC decisions include a requirement to follow FDA or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) guidelines. You may review these guidelines on the FDA website at fda.gov or CMS website at cms.gov. Where to find HTCC decisions You may view the list of services that the HTCC has reviewed or currently has under review on the HCA website at hca.wa.gov/hta. The website includes: • Evidence reports • Instructions on providing public comments on pending reviews or re-reviews • Public comments • The decisions and criteria for coverage • The public meeting schedule You may also contact UMP Customer Service with questions about coverage of conditions for HTCC technologies.
