For preauthorization requirements and toll free telephone number, please refer to the back of your identification card.

Remember, preauthorization may be required for inpatient hospitalizations and some surgeries, but not for regular doctor's office visits. Depending on your coverage, there may be other medical services and treatments that require preauthorization, such as home health care, home infusion therapy, hospice care, outpatient therapies or certain prescription drugs.

If your coverage requires preauthorization, the list of medical services and treatments requiring preauthorization will be listed on the back of your identification card. Please remember that preauthorization is ultimately your responsibility. Benefits may be reduced for failing to obtain preauthorization when required.
