How It Works
Paramount is committed to providing benefits for new health care practices and technologies. As new technologies and ways to apply them become apparent, Paramount performs an extensive review of the new technology to determine coverage recommendations.

Paramount investigates all requests for coverage of new technology using the HAYES Medical Technology Directory as a guide. Paramount also utilizes additional sources, including Medicare and Medicaid policies, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) releases, current medical literature and the HMO Alliance (a collaboration of 14 HMO plans). Paramount’s Technology Assessment Working Group, made up of several local physicians in a variety of clinical disciplines, along with other physician advisers, evaluate this information.

You or your physician can find out if a specific new procedure is covered under your plan by calling Member Service.
