Prior authorization is a utilization management process required by some insurance companies to determine if the prescribed service/supplies will be covered.
- Prior authorization approval process varies by insurance plan
- Supportive medical documentation from your doctor is required
Prior authorization approval can take from 7 to 14 business days. The length of the approval process is determined by how responsive your insurance provider is at the time we reach out to them for approval. Another factor that can increase the approval process time is how responsive your doctor's office is with sending over the required medical documents.
