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.
