6 Prior Authorization Prior Authorization is a process that requires physician offices to ask permission from a patient s insurance company before performing certain medical procedures or prescribing certain medications. Why is this issue important to patients? For every 1 hour a physician spends with a patient, the physician spends 2 hours on administrative tasks like prior authorization.
