What is Prior Authorization? Prior Authorization is the act of authorizing specific services before they are rendered. Generally, prior authorization requirements are designed to assure the medical necessity of service, prevent unanticipated denials of coverage, ensure participating Providers are utilized and all services are provided at the appropriate level of care for the Member s needs. *Prior Authorization is not a guarantee of payment.*
Requests for Authorization Authorization for elective services should be requested with supporting clinical documentation at least 14 days prior to the date of the requested service. Authorization for emergent services should be requested within one business day. Information generally required to support decision making includes: Current (up to 6 months), adequate patient history related to the requested services Physical examination that addresses the problem Lab or radiology results to support the request (Including previous MRI, CT, Lab or X-ray report/results) PCP or Specialist progress notes or consultations Any other information or data specific to the request Molina Healthcare of Florida will process all non-urgent requests in no more than 14 calendar days of the initial request. Urgent requests will be processed within 72 hours of the initial request. Providers who request prior authorization approval for patient services and/or procedures can request to review the criteria used to make the final decision. Providers may request to speak to the Medical Director who made the determination to approve or deny the service request. 6
