Behavioral Health

We have partnered with Lucet for their expertise in the provision of behavioral health services. Lucet manages authorizations for our members, performs all utilization and case management activities, as well as ABA case management.

Lucet also engages with our providers to improve quality outcomes. Lucet's team of behavioral health professionals is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist in obtaining the appropriate level of care for your patients.

The switch from Magellan to Lucet for authorization services does not affect member care. Members continue to have access to a robust behavioral health network and other services to support their care and treatment.

We require prior authorization for certain behavioral health services:

• Inpatient Hospital (including detox)
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
• Residential Treatment Center (RTC)
• Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Full details on our behavioral health authorization requirements are available in our online provider manuals.
