Prior authorization
Providers need prior authorization (PA) for some outpatient care and planned hospital admissions. We don’t require PA for emergency care. You can find a current list of the services that need PA on the Provider Portal. You can also find out if a service needs PA by using ProPAT, our online prior authorization search tool.

- Registering for the Provider Portal if you haven’t already
- Verifying member eligibility before providing services
- Completing the PA request form (PDF) for all medical requests
- Completing the PA request form for medical equipment/supplies (PDF)
- Attaching supporting documents when you submit the form
