Prior Authorization is a requirement set by insurance companies where they must approve specific medications or treatments before covering the costs.
Insurance companies primarily use this process as a cost-cutting measure, ensuring that the prescribed treatment aligns with their guidelines and is medically necessary for your condition.
The process involves detailed collection and submission of information regarding your medical history and proposed treatment plan. Coordinating with the insurance provider to meet their specific requirements takes careful attention and time.
Prior Authorizations are often employed by insurance companies to manage expenses. Although it may cause delays, there is no way around this procedure, as it is part of the standard practice in healthcare.
