Volusia Health Network works closely with each employer
to design a Utilization Management Plan that precisely
meets the specific attributes of the employer's health
plan. Although pre-certification is required for all
elective and urgent admissions, and all outpatient
surgical procedures performed in a hospital or ambulatory
surgical center, the requirements for each plan varies
by employer. To verify specific requirements, please
contact our Pre-Certification Services at (386) 323-1535
or 1-800/741-2198.

Emergency admissions require certification within 24
hours or the next business day. All non-emergency
surgeries require pre-certification from Volusia Health
Network at least 10 days prior to obtaining services.
Volusia Health Network may require a second surgical
opinion on certain surgical procedures.
