Sec. 8. (a) Any Medicaid service requiring prior authorization, which is provided without first receiving prior authorization, shall not be reimbursed by Medicaid. Prior authorization will be monitored by concurrent or postpayment review. (b) Any authorization of a service by the office is limited to authorization for payment of Medicaid allowable charges and is not an authorization of the provider's estimated fees. (c) Notwithstanding any prior authorization by the office, the provision of all services and supplies shall comply with the provider agreement, the appropriate provider manual applicable at the time such services or supplies were provided, all other Medicaid policy documents issued to providers, and any applicable state or federal statute or regulation.
