Medical Affairs
- Pre-Certifications
- Referral Authorizations
- Continuation of Care
- Transition of Care
- Disease Management
- Case Management
- Quality Assurance
- Physician Utilization
DMC has put together a Medical Affairs Team of highly skilled professionals that ensure high quality and cost-effective healthcare is received in the most appropriate setting. The Team focuses on the overall clinical management of each member along the entire continuum of care.
The Medical Affairs Team performs reviews for determining medical necessity for designated outpatient procedures, inpatient admissions and continued stays. Milliman & Robertson (M&R) Healthcare Management Guidelines are utilized to determine medical necessity for authorization of referrals, inpatient preadmission requests, as well as concurrent and retrospective reviews. Any authorization requests that do not meet the medical necessity criteria are reviewed by the Medical Director who makes the final determination.
A service or treatment must be active and have a reasonable clinical expectation that such treatment will improve the member’s condition or level of function. This philosophy is used when a member’s ongoing treatment plan is being reviewed and a continuation of care decision is made.
There are times when it may be necessary to transition a member’s care from one provider to another. Transition of care is determined on an individual case basis evaluating the diagnosis and treatment plan, ultimately ensuring the member’s health is not jeopardized and the care plan is continued as needed.
Our Quality Assurance program is a comprehensive, organized program designed to monitor, evaluate and improve the quality of care delivered to our clients by network providers. We offer customization of our programs focusing on each client’s individual needs.
DMC has developed a wealth of disease and care management programs. These programs concentrate on the chronically ill members and focus on educating them about their conditions and providing resources to ensure they receive the necessary care their condition requires.
Member Services
- Eligibility Management
- Member ID Cards and Plan Information
One key to success for any Managed Care organization is to have accurate eligibility. A company’s eligibility reputation can have a major impression on their members and their provider network. It is critical to guarantee that you are receiving premium payments for members that are eligible and not continuing to pay claims for members that are no longer eligible.
Delta Medical Care has extensive experience developing interfaces with CMS and other national payers, ensuring the eligibility information updates timely and accurately.
Another crucial element of a successful Health Plan organization is a timely relaying of plan information to covered members, explaining their benefits, in an easily understandable format. We have established goals that member ID cards and benefit information are sent out within the timeframes each of our clients select, typically between 3 to 7 days from receipt of the member’s active eligibility record.

We have also developed provider networks for Medicare, PPO and Managed Care programs. DMC also has the ability to credential providers utilizing all NCQA guidelines.
Maintaining an accurate provider database is crucial for correct claim payments, updated provider directories and satisfied providers.
