Prior Authorizations

There are several factors that impact whether a service or procedure is covered under a member’s benefit plan. Medical policies and clinical utilization management (UM) guidelines are two resources that help us determine if a procedure is medically necessary. These documents are available to you as a reference when interpreting claim decisions.
