Prior authorization is a process established by commercial insurance plans that allows a physician to submit a treatment plan prior to surgery. The insurer reviews the treatment plan as well as the patient’s insurance benefits and medical policies to determine if the treatment is covered and the applicable patient responsibility (e.g., coinsurance and/or copay, deductibles, and out-of-pocket amounts). As prior authorization processes vary by insurer, it is important to contact insurance plans and follow their specific requirements.
