Fax submissions ended April 24, 2026 for sleep studies and genetic testing, and August 23, 2026 for behavioral-health intensive outpatient/partial hospitalization and durable medical equipment requests. The older linked predetermination form still displays a fax; this record withholds it until applicability is confirmed. The notices publish telephone and electronic submission routes.
