All Emergency Inpatient Admissions require authorization from Meridian Health Plan. For authorization,
Meridian must be notified within the first 24 hours or the following business day.
By requesting prior authorization, the provider is representing that the services to be provided are medically necessary. As a
condition of authorization for those services, the servicing provider agrees to accept no more than 100% of Iowa Medicaid rates. At
no time will Meridian Health Plan pay more than 100% of Iowa Medicaid rates for any service. In the event that these services are
deemed not to be medically necessary, Meridian Health Plan will not reimburse the provider for those services.
