Carelon Medical Benefits Management Authorization Period for Diagnostic Imaging Management (DIM) to Change Effective May 15, 2023 March 09, 2023 Medical Policy & Clinical Guidelines Physicians & Specialists

Certain provider specialties relating to Hematology and Oncology were receiving authorization approvals for up to 180 days for the Diagnostic Imaging Management (DIM) program.  However, as of May 15, 2023, all authorizations for DIM will be approved for 30 days to be consistent across these exams for all specialties. Any existing authorizations will be honored for the current timeframes, and this change will only apply going forward and reflected in the Carelon Medical Benefits Management (Carelon, formerly AIM Specialty Health) authorization approval.   

If you have any questions, please contact Customer Service at 877-275-9787. This phone number can also be found on the back of the member ID card.
