Clinical
Practice Guidelines
Independent Care has
implemented its Clinical Practice Guidelines with the support of network
physicians on our review committee. Each clinical practice guideline
represents an accepted standard of care in the medical profession that may
be used for diagnosing, managing or treating a condition or accomplishing a
clinical service. Individual clinical decisions should be tailored to
specific patient medical and psychosocial needs. Although these guidelines
are adapted from national sources, information in these areas may evolve
rapidly and lead to changes in recommendations. As changes occur, please
update your practice accordingly. None of the information contained within
these guidelines is intended to interfere with or prohibit clinical
decisions made by a treating physician regarding the medically available
treatment options of members.
