With all the new medical technology available today, did you ever wonder how insurance companies evaluate the new treatments and procedures they include in their benefits packages? At Dean Health Plan, we evaluate new medical devices, new technologies, and new uses for old procedures. We also evaluate new medications regularly.
A team of Dean Health Plan doctors is
responsible for the initial evaluation. This
team reviews published information and
requests input from network doctors. Health
care experts in the Dean organization then
review this information. If the new technology
passes all of these checks, we may change or add
benefit determinations to reflect the value of the
new procedure, device, or medication.
