Can my health plan require me to obtain authorization for a for a 48-hour or 96-hour hospital stay?
A health plan cannot require you to obtain authorization justifying the medical necessity of your 48 or 96-hour stay. However, your health plan may require your physician to submit the necessary documentation for pre-certification of medical necessity for any additional time exceeding the 48 or 96-hour stay, or control your admission to certain facilities.
