Do I Need to Have Procedures Pre-certified with a CitizenSecure® Plan?
CitizenSecure® plans require Pre-certification, which simply means that you must contact HCCMIS as soon as possible before a planned hospitalization or surgical procedure, within 48 hours of an emergency hospital admission, or within the first 90 days of pregnancy. Pre-certification allows us to establish contact and make payment arrangements with your providers, negotiate discounts which will benefit both you and us, pre-arrange future care, and plan for your claim. Pre-certification helps us help you.
