What is Prior Authorization (Pre-authorization)?
A. Some insurers require Prior Authorization of a proposed device prior to work being started. We will help in determining what is to be requested, obtaining the appropriate paperwork from your physician, and submitting the request to your insurer for Prior Authorization by them. We will provide them with all necessary justification to explain why this device is Medically Necessary for you. Then we must all wait for their determination to approve or deny the request. Sometimes we must re-apply and supply them with additional information they request. Usually, this takes less than a week, but with some state funded agencies it can take up to a month or longer to obtain Prior Authorization.
