Medical carriers require preauthorization for certain medical services or procedures. This means that a provider must call or notify the carrier of a patient's upcoming procedure. The carrier will then approve the service as a covered benefit if it is medically necessary. If the procedure is not preauthorized, the claim can be denied or the patient can be charged a penalty. Examples of benefits that often require preauthorization include, but are not limited to, the following: chiropractic visits, physical therapy, mental health visits, surgery, and certain prescription drugs.
