- Contact your patient’s insurance either by phone or check their website to see if prior authorization is necessary.
- If prior authorization is needed and treatment is urgent, please use the insurance company’s fastest method for approval.
- If you are told no prior authorization is needed, note the name of the person you are speaking with, ask for a reference number for the call, and note the date and time of the conversation.
- Know your codes: services to be performed, medications to be ordered, and diagnosis.
