LOA in Medical Billing
LOA stands for Length of Authorization, which is the period during which authorized medical services are covered by insurance.
LOA in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, LOA refers to the time frame during which a service that requires prior authorization is approved for coverage. Once this period expires, the provider must seek a new authorization or the claim may be denied.
For example, a physical therapist gets an LOA for 10 sessions of treatment, but after that period, they must request a new authorization for additional sessions.
