What is pre-authorization, and who is responsible for taking care of it?
Many insurance plans require prior approval for services by patients and/or their Primary Care Providers (PCPs) before services can be covered. This is often referred to as pre-authorization. Before your visit to an Eastern Maine Healthcare facility, please review your health-plan booklet or call your insurance company representative to clarify your specific policy benefits and requirements. Many Insurance Carriers also have their own web sites – information about your company’s web site can be found in your insurance policy handbook, on your insurance card, or at your benefits office.
