Referrals and Prior-Authorizations

Any prior-authorization/referral required by your insurance for procedures, or specialist requires at least a notice of 72 business hours. Prior-Authorizations can not be back dated or retro activated. There must be documentation in your medical record of a medical condition or suspicion of a condition in order to process a prior-authorization/referral. It is the responsibility of the patient to know if his or her insurance requires a prior-authorization/Referral.
