Alternative care may be covered in lieu of regular plan benefits for dates of service beginning September 1, 2021 if certain conditions are met. Alternative care must be approved in writing, medically necessary and must meet accepted medical community standards and result in no additional cost to the plan. For example, alternative care could be coverage for home care or a skilled nursing facility in lieu of hospitalization.
