Medical Necessity Criteria

Magellan is committed to the philosophy of promoting treatment at the most appropriate, least-restrictive level of care needed to effectively meet an individual’s biopsychosocial needs. We see the continuum of care as a fluid treatment pathway where individuals may enter treatment at any level and be moved to more or less-intensive settings or levels of care as their changing clinical needs dictate. At any level of care, such treatment is individualized, active, and takes into consideration the individual’s stage of readiness to change and readiness to participate in treatment.
