HealthChoice Select is a program designed to reduce the costs of select services by contracting with select facilities to provide these services at one low, bundled price that will be covered at 100 percent of allowable fees with no out-of-pocket costs to members. Members of the High Deductible Health Plan must meet their deductible before any benefits, other than for preventive services, are paid by the plan.

Bundled pricing is a pricing strategy that provides one consolidated bill for services that includes the related fees for the facility, surgeon, anesthesia, laboratory, pathology, radiology, etc., all at a reduced rate for all services provided on the date of the surgery, procedure, or during the inpatient stay. Standard clinical editing and all existing plan policy and provisions apply. This value-based pricing motivates providers to work across the medical continuum to keep patients healthy and out of the hospital. Related services that occur on a day other than the Select surgery or procedure are subject to standard HealthChoice benefits.

HealthChoice continues to increase the types of services covered under bundled pricing. For a list of services covered under HealthChoice Select, please visit our webpage at https://gateway.sib.ok.gov/providersearch/SelectProgram.aspx.

Select will reimburse outpatient implants at the invoice cost less any rebates or discounts received by the facility. HealthChoice Select will allow up to the net cost, including shipping, handling and tax. Shipping, handling and tax must be prorated for the billed implant for invoices including supplies other than the billed implant. Occasionally, HealthChoice may require the actual invoice for the implant billed. Implants used in an inpatient setting will not be reimbursed separately. For more information, please refer to the HealthChoice Select Facility Amendment.

Effective July 1, 2019, HealthChoice revised the policy regarding Select inpatient implants allowing additional reimbursement for medically necessary upgrades. If an implant upgrade is deemed medically necessary, then reimbursement of an additional $1,500 allowable will be applied. Claims billed with a diagnosis code of L23.0 or Z91.048 will be reviewed for an additional implant upgrade allowable. Claims that are billed without a qualifying diagnosis are not eligible for the additional implant upgrade reimbursement. Inpatient certification and implant upgrade certifications are handled separately. Certification for any inpatient stay is required in accordance with plan policy and criteria and reviewed by the HealthChoice certification vendor. Separate certification is required through HCMU for implant upgrades. Implant certification requires, in part, a description of the composite makeup of the device, which includes laboratory documentation confirming the patient’s metal allergy. The device must also meet the definition of an implanted prosthetic device. Members of the High Deductible Health Plan must meet their deductible before any benefits, other than for preventive services, are paid by the plan. For more information about certification, please reference the HealthChoice Provider Manual. 

HealthChoice Select can reimburse bilateral procedures at 150% of the Select allowable fee when billed with the appropriate modifier(s).

The HealthChoice Select fee schedule can be found on the website at https://gateway.sib.ok.gov/feeschedule/Login.aspx. Inpatient hospital services will use the Select MS-DRG fee schedule. Outpatient services will use the Select Outpatient/ASC fee schedule. Authorized contacts can access the full fee schedule or the addendum. The addendum includes all additions, changes and deletes from Jan. 1, 2018 to present. In the Select fee schedule, payments for Select bundled services are organized by types of procedures. Under the types of procedures are groups of similar services, each of which has a separate and distinct CPT/HCPCS code, or groups of CPT/HCPC codes. 

Select combination CPT/HCPCS codes contain multiple procedures and services performed at the same time.

Select claims are subject to subrogation policy applicable to all HealthChoice claims. For more information about subrogation, refer to Subrogation our Provider Manual.

HealthChoice Select claims may be pended to verify other insurance coverage or to review for third party liability. Providers may inquire with Customer Care if members have verified other coverage with the plan prior to rendering Select services to ensure claims process timely.
