Why Do Medical Practices and Providers Need Prior Authorization?

Prior authorization (PA) is a health plan cost-control process requiring medical providers to obtain approval before delivering specific services, procedures, or prescriptions.

  2. Pain management
  3. Genetic testing
  4. CT scans and radiology services
  5. Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
  6. Behavioral Health
  7. Expensive medication
  8. Home Health Services
