Prior Authorization Requests for Medical Care and Medications

Some medical services and medications may need a prior authorization (PA), sometimes called a “pre-authorization,” before care or medication can be covered as a benefit. Ask your provider to go to Prior Authorization Requests to get forms and information on services that may need approval before they prescribe a specific medicine, medical device or procedure.
