Administrative information only. Benefily reports what a payer has published in its own prior-authorization policy as of the effective date shown. It is not medical advice, not a coverage or payment guarantee, and not an authorization. Requirements vary by plan, place of service and member benefits — always verify with the payer before rendering service.
