Prior Authorization

No Prior Auth Required

Covered without prior authorization by at least one policy, though another does not cover it (medium confidence)

Documentation Required

For services requiring a referring/ordering physician, the referring/ordering physician's name and NPI must be reported on the claim.
Diagnostic test claims should include the test result if known; if result is not available, report the symptoms that prompted the test.
The patient's medical record must include the ordering provider's assessment related to the visit complaint, relevant medical history, results of pertinent tests/procedures, and a signed and dated office visit record or operative report.

When using an Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non‑coverage (ABN) with modifier GA, the ABN Form CMS‑R‑131 must be signed by the beneficiary (or properly witnessed if refused) and Part A MAC claims require occurrence code 32 plus the ABN date.

Use modifier GX when a voluntary ABN was signed and denial is anticipated for reasons other than medical necessity; use modifier GZ when denial is expected and no ABN is signed; use modifier GY for statutorily non‑covered services (no ABN required).
