Idaho Medicaid Home Health Prior Authorization Form

Idaho Medicaid requires prior authorization before it covers home health services, and this form is the home health agency's request. The agency enters the ordering physician's information and attaches the physician's current signed order and the home health certification or plan of care. The Medicaid Medical Care Unit reviews the request.

Who completes it

The home health agency completes and submits the form. The ordering physician's part is the signed and dated order and the home health certification or plan of care that must be attached.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The agency faxes the request with its attachments to the Idaho Medicaid Medical Care Unit.
Who pays
Idaho Medicaid lists no fee for the physician's order; it supports the agency's prior authorization for home health services.

Good to know

  • The attached physician order must be current, signed and dated. Verbal orders and signature stamps are not accepted.
  • Services can be requested only through December 31 of the current year, so care continuing into a new year needs a new request.
  • Hospice and therapy services use their own Idaho Medicaid forms: the Hospice Notification and Request Form and the Therapy Services Prior Authorization Form.
  • The form is a fillable PDF posted on Idaho Medicaid's provider forms list, so the agency can type the request before attaching the physician documents.
