Outpatient Specialized Therapies include evaluations, re-evaluations, and/or multidisciplinary evaluations as well as therapeutic physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, and audiologic services provided by all provider types and in all settings except hospital/rehabilitation inpatient settings.
Prior authorization (PA) is required for all treatment services. The Carolinas Center of Medical Excellence performs the PA functions. All authorizations must be submitted via CCME’s new prior authorization website. The website can be accessed through the CCME home page 
or directly at http://www.medicaidprograms.org/nc/therapyservices/.
Information on the implementation of the PA requirement is available in the November 2009 Medicaid Bulletin.
For service requirements, coverage criteria, and limitations, refer to Clinical Coverage Policy #10A, Outpatient Specialized Therapies.
