Make sure you're covered.
LifeWise offers many services and procedures that require preapproval. This process determines whether or not a service is eligible for coverage under your plan. Your in-network provider, who uses the term “prior authorization,” can request preapproval on your behalf.
LifeWise uses a team of experienced doctors, nurses, and healthcare analysts to determine if a medical procedure is appropriate and supported by clinical best practices.
They are familiar with the process and have all of the information needed to contact LifeWise and request that your medical service be reviewed and approved for coverage. If your provider hasn’t already told you that the procedure is approved, be sure to ask before scheduling it.
If your doctor provides a service that requires prior authorization and has not requested it, you may have to pay part or all of the cost, above your usual cost shares. For complete information about your plan's medical benefits and prior authorization requirements, check your benefit booklet.
If you have a prescription plan benefit, some drugs must be approved for coverage through our pharmacy preapproval program as drugs requiring approval.
