What types of scans need approval from BCBSNC before they are done?
High-tech scans (diagnostic imaging procedures), such as CT or CTA scans, MRI or MRA scans, PET scans or special heart scans called nuclear cardiology studies, require prior plan approval from BCBSNC. If these scans are not part of an emergency room visit or an inpatient hospital stay, then your doctor needs to get prior plan approval from BCBSNC.
