TRICARE East Mental Health Continued Stay Request

When a TRICARE East beneficiary needs more acute mental health care, substance use detoxification or rehabilitation, inpatient trauma treatment, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care than first authorized, Humana Military needs this continued stay request. It updates diagnoses, medications, clinical progress, behavior on the unit, mental status, safety plan, barriers to discharge and the estimated discharge date.

Who completes it

The treating behavioral health facility or provider completes all five pages, including the attending or rendering provider and utilization review contact, the authorization or referral ID, and units or days completed and requested.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Submit it online through Humana Military provider self-service; faxed forms are accepted only if the provider cannot submit electronically.

What discharge information does Humana Military want on a continued stay request?

The last page asks for barriers to discharge and the discharge plan with an estimated length of stay or tentative discharge date. Earlier pages cover the biopsychosocial situation, family therapy, which is required for children and adolescents, and the safety plan.
