Connecticut Billing Notes
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield CT requires prior authorization for all ART procedures. Submit complete clinical documentation including diagnosis, AMH, AFC, and prior treatment history.
Connecticut mandates only 2 IVF cycles. Track lifetime utilization carefully — patients who have used cycles at other practices may have exhausted their benefit.
ConnectiCare (an EmblemHealth company) may require S-codes alongside standard ART CPT codes. Verify their current claim submission requirements.
CT defines infertility as inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse. For women over 35, the timeframe is 6 months. Document the qualifying period in the chart.
