Non-incentive Programs
CBHNP does not provide incentives to employees who conduct
utilization management activities for denying, limiting or discontinuing
medically necessary services.
-
Utilization Management (UM) decision-making is based only on
appropriateness of care and service and existence of coverage
-
CBHNP does not specifically reward practitioners or other
individuals for issuing denials of coverage or service care
-
Financial incentives for UM decision-makers do not encourage
decisions that result in under-utilization
Privacy and Confidentiality
CBHNP takes your privacy very seriously. There are state and
federal laws that we must follow to safeguard your
privacy. CBHNP employees, along with certain state and county government
representatives who monitor the quality and delivery of your services, may have
access to your medical records.
We do not give out information about your treatment to
anyone without your written approval. The only exception is in the event of
a life-threatening emergency. Then, certain information may be shared to
be sure that you and other people are safe.
We will not let anyone else see information about the care
you receive if you don’t want us to.
When would you share information about me?

facilitate the basic health care operations of CBHNP

the activities of CBHNP

What if I have more questions about this?
