Principal and Magellan

Recent News


Effective August 1, 2010, Principal Life Insurance Company transferred precertification and utilization management of inpatient mental health/substance abuse treatment to Magellan Health Services.

To obtain precertification, providers should continue to contact Principal as instructed on patient ID cards.  Principal will verify eligibility and determine whether precertification by Magellan is required.  If a service is precertified, coverage is subject to the member's benefits.  Payment for services rendered without precertification may not be payable or may be reduced.
