4 Introduction Community Integration Manager Community Integration Manager (CIM) is available to check eligibility status, authorization status, and claims status. A plan s medical management team uses CIM to authorize, monitor, and manage authorizations submitted by provider agencies, as well as, document important actions (example: clinical notes). CIM eliminates much of the paperwork and faxing associated with the authorization process. Accessing the system You will use the Internet Browser to reach our website at Logging onto CIM requires a unique username and password for each employee with access to the system. As a new user, you will register and choose a unique username and password. CIM will prompt you to change your password once a year. The following rules apply when creating a unique username: In the box labeled "Username," you will need to type a name without spaces which will be unique to you. Common usernames make use of a person's last name and the first letter of the first name, such as 'doej' (John Doe). Persons who have common last names such as 'Smith' might try something like 'smithjo' or 'josmith' (Joe Smith). Always use lower case. Minimum password length is six characters and must contain at least 3 of the following types of characters: Uppercase letters (A-Z) Lowercase Letters (a-z) Number(s) (0-9) Non-alpha character (!, #, $, %, etc.) Examples: Splurt1 or Cazart! 10/2017 4

5 Eligibility Below you will find the steps to find various plans eligible members. CIM allows users to search for members in many different ways. You can use a Social Security number, date of birth, or the member s policy/member ID number. CIM is searchable by a specific date to verify eligibility for a particular date of service as of today or in the past. Eligibility is the first step in the authorization process 1) Choose Member Search from the Main Menu. 2) Type member information in the fields by which you wish to search. Search requirements are displayed on this screen. The members ID number works best for searching. Click Search 10/2017 5

Be sure the Request Auth from PCP ( I am the specialist ) checkbox is correct. The default is unchecked indicating that this authorization request is from the PCP (that is not the specialist).

17 Authorization Confirmation 10/

18 The Authorization Confirmation screen should appear and list the authorization information and an Authorization Status. To see the authorization request in more detail, select the Referral Manager link at the top of the page. The authorization status will read Received. This message means that the authorization has been submitted but still needs to be reviewed by the plan. Using Referral Manager Your office can use Referral Manager to view authorizations to your office/agency. Below you will find specific instructions on locating authorizations. Important Note: The Referral Manager function is not as detailed as the Referral Report function. For more informative reports that can be both printed and downloaded (into Microsoft Excel for example), please see the Referral Reports section of this manual. Steps for finding status of authorizations: 1) Select Referral Manager from the Main Menu. 2) Type a date span to reflect the submission date of the authorizations you wish to view. 3) Select the authorization status you wish to view by clicking on it. Multiple statuses may be selected by holding down the Control key while selecting with the mouse. Important Note: A specific dummy client name has been used in the example given above in order to preserve member confidentiality. Although you will have the option of searching by an individual member s name or Recipient ID (Pt. ID:), in most cases you are trying to find all the authorizations entered for a particular day, week or month, and will not include a specific member s name or identifying information. 4) Click on the Find button. Along the left is a vertical listing of the members and associated Reference numbers in blue font. By clicking on the Reference # link on the left side of the screen, the authorization detail screen will appear in the frame to the right. 10/

19 Referral Reports Referral Reports is another way to see all of the referrals and pre-authorizations to or from your office. This report provides all the same information as Referral Manager, but in a different format that provides a way to pull the data from the system and create an Excel spreadsheet that can be sorted and worked. The screen can easily be printed from this area by clicking the Print button on the left hand side of the screen above the search results. The screen will print as it appears on your computer. 10/

20 Locating Open Authorizations for Renewing and Updating An additional feature of the Referral Reports is that it allows you to select date ranges to provide a way to see what authorizations are due to expire thus allowing the user to see what authorizations are due to expire that may require them to be updated or renewed. Below is an example of how to use search criteria in referral reports to query for open authorizations. Key elements for this query are the posted date, start dates and end dates. Below are screen prints with some hints and tips for this type of query. You will use the tabs across the top to set the search criteria. The Search Tab is the first one. The Search tab is where you will set the provider information and dates as indicated below. Since security is tied to your office you do not have to list your agency. The Submitted From and Submitted To dates will default to the current date. You will want to set your from date far enough back to catch any authorizations that may have been loaded in a retro authorization situation. The suggested date is 15 months from date of query. The Submitted To field will default to the day you log into the system. This date can be changed to any date after the Submitted From date. You can set parameters in the other tabs to narrow down your search by Office, Procedure/Diagnosis code groups, Details, and Sorting. Exporting to an Excel File Select To File. The next screen notifies you that you have successfully created a file, followed by instructions on how to download the file and save to a targeted area. 10/

26 Using CIM Online Health Systems Division Line Search The Oregon Health Plan is administered in accordance to the prioritized list. This is known and referred to as the line and treatment pairs. This means that the diagnosis code has to pair with the procedure code being billed and must fall above the line to be a covered benefit. The Health Systems Division Line Search provides Oregon Health Plan benefit coverage information by offering the capability of determining, based on ICD-10 diagnosis codes and procedure codes, which medical and/or surgical conditions are eligible for reimbursement under the Oregon Health Plan benefit package, and which are considered to be below the line. Please note: the prioritized line changes frequently by the State so it s important to check whether a diagnosis and service are covered for each visit. In order to assist your office in using the Health Systems Division Line Search accurately, please utilize the following definitions of covered versus noncovered diagnoses and treatments per the current List of Prioritized Services as determined by Oregon Health Authority, the State agency which administers Medicaid in Oregon: Above the Line Items These are diagnoses which, when entered into the Line Finder, rank within the Line Ranking 1 through 475 for These are considered to be above the line diagnoses, and are payable services, assuming all other applicable requirements (such as member eligibility, medical necessity, preauthorization approval, etc.) are met. Below the Line Items These are diagnoses which, when entered into the Line Finder, rank on lines 476 and beyond for These are below the line services, and are not covered by the Oregon Health Plan. Non-ranking Items These diagnoses which, when entered into the Line Finder, produce no message. These are conditions (usually symptom codes), and are not covered by the Oregon Health Plan without a more specific diagnosis code. Prioritized List Link: 10/
