NEW DELIVERY NOTIFICATION FORM
Date: 07/31/24
This announcement is to notify you of a new self-service form, the Delivery Notification Form that will be available for use effective August 5th, 2024.
Delaware First Health does not require physicians or healthcare providers to obtain prior authorization for the delivery of a newborn. However, notification of all deliveries is required with a Delivery Notification Form completed and faxed to Delaware First Health at 833-974-1203.
Effective August 5th, 2024, healthcare providers must use the Delivery Notification Form to notify the health plan of a mother's delivery. This form MUST be completed within three (3) business days of the mother's discharge and faxed to 833-974-1203.
Please note, an inpatient stay longer than 48 hours for a vaginal delivery or 96 hours for a cesarean delivery will require a prior authorization request faxed to 833-974-1203.
Please refer to the provider authorization check tool to check if any authorizations are required for additional services.
