Florida Health Care Plans Utilization Management Program encompasses the evaluation and determination of coverage for, and appropriateness of medical care services, behavioral health services and individual plan coverage benefits, as well as providing assistance to clinicians and members ensuring appropriate use of resources.

All pre-service and prior authorization requests are managed by the Central Referrals Department. Care during a hospitalization, Skilled Nursing Facility and Home Health Care are overseen by the Case Management Utilization Review Department. Member complaints, appeals and grievances are handled by the Member Services Department. All are reviewed, along with all pertinent documentation for approval or denial based on evidence based medical necessity criteria. FHCP uses MCG (Milliman) CareGuide, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid guidelines, and internally developed guidelines to assure the consistency with which medical necessity decisions are made.
