Prior authorization lookup tool
Use this tool for determining what outpatient services require prior authorization.
Please note:
- This tool is for outpatient services only.
- Inpatient services and nonparticipating providers always require prior authorization.
- This tool does not reflect benefits coverage* nor does it include an exhaustive listing of all non-covered services (such as experimental procedures or cosmetic surgery) — Refer to your provider manual for coverage/limitations.
* Services may be listed as requiring prior authorization that may not be covered benefits for a particular member. Please verify benefit coverage prior to rendering services.
