My insurance states that my medication/imaging requires a prior-authorization. What do I do?

If your insurer states they require a prior-authorization, this means they would like more information about you prior to approving your medication or imaging test. You can contact your insurer to initiate the prior-authorization by visiting their website or contacting your pharmacy for the correct contact information. Should the insurer request any information from your doctor, our experienced and compassionate office staff will be happy to assist.
