Prior authorization requirements are summarized for each group on the following pages.
Prior authorization is not a guarantee of payment: Prior authorization helps determine a member’s eligibility for a requested procedure
or service before the service is rendered. Prior authorization approval decisions are based on information provided during the request
process and typically requires medical records. Even if a service is authorized, the claim for the rendered service is reviewed and
processed according to specific benefit plan coverage, including any applicable limitations, exclusions, maximums, and waivers.
Although prior authorization may not be required for a particular service, any claim may still be subject to review for medical necessity.
Penalties: If a required prior authorization is not obtained prior to service, a penalty is applied to the contracted servicing provider or
facility. If an out-of-network provider is used, the penalty is applied to the member.
