DHS 107.035 DHS 107.035Definition and identification of experimental services.
DHS 107.035(1)(1)Definition. “Experimental in nature," as used in s. DHS 107.03 (4) and this section, means a service, procedure or treatment provided by a particular provider which the department has determined under sub. (2) not to be a proven and effective treatment for the condition for which it is intended or used.
DHS 107.035(2) (2)Departmental review. In assessing whether a service provided by a particular provider is experimental in nature, the department shall consider whether the service is a proven and effective treatment for the condition which it is intended or used, as evidenced by:
DHS 107.035(2)(a) (a) The current and historical judgment of the medical community as evidenced by medical research, studies, journals or treatises;
DHS 107.035(2)(b) (b) The extent to which medicare and private health insurers recognize and provide coverage for the service;
DHS 107.035(2)(c) (c) The current judgment of experts and specialists in the medical specialty area or areas in which the service is applicable or used; and
DHS 107.035(2)(d) (d) The judgment of the MA medical audit committee of the state medical society of Wisconsin or the judgment of any other committee which may be under contract with the department to perform health care services review within the meaning of s. 146.37, Stats.
DHS 107.035(3) (3)Exclusion of coverage. If on the basis of its review the department determines that a particular service provided by a particular provider is experimental in nature and should therefore be denied MA coverage in whole or in part, the department shall send written notice to physicians or other affected certified providers who have requested reimbursement for the provision of the experimental service. The notice shall identify the service, the basis for its exclusion from MA coverage and the specific circumstances, if any, under which coverage will or may be provided.
DHS 107.035(4) (4)Review of exclusion from coverage. At least once a year following a determination under sub. (3), the department shall reassess services previously designated as experimental to ascertain whether the services have advanced through the research and experimental stage to become established as proven and effective means of treatment for the particular condition or conditions for which they are designed. If the department concludes that a service should no longer be considered experimental, written notice of that determination shall be given to the affected providers. That notice shall identify the extent to which MA coverage will be recognized.
