Intermediate mental health services. During preadmission review, Blue Cross Blue Shield will assess the member's specific mental health needs. There are times when a member will require covered services that are more intensive than the typical outpatient services. But, these services may not require that the member be admitted for 24-hour hospital care. These intermediate mental health care services that may be approved by Blue Cross Blue Shield include (but are not limited to): acute residential treatment; partial hospital programs; or intensive outpatient programs. Blue Cross Blue Shield will arrange for treatment with the appropriate mental health provider.
