The top five denial reasons are:
Yes, Health First Colorado requires prior authorization for molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, most tests over $500, and specialty immunology panels. Coverage is administered regionally through Regional Accountable Entities (RAEs) and, in some areas, separate Managed Care Organizations (MCOs); authorization requirements can vary by region. The authorization process typically takes 8-22 days depending on the region, complexity, and medical necessity documentation. TransLabs manages Health First Colorado’s regional authorization requirements to ensure approvals are secured before testing begins.
A Local Coverage Determination (LCD) is a Medicare policy that defines which tests are covered, which ICD-10 codes support medical necessity, and testing frequency limitations. Colorado falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction H (JH), administered by Novitas Solutions, which has strict LCDs for molecular and genetic testing. Billing a test with a non-covered diagnosis code results in automatic denial and potential audit exposure.
