Pre-Authorization in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, pre-authorization is required for certain procedures, medications, or treatments. Without pre-authorization, the insurance company may deny the claim, leaving the patient responsible for the full cost.
For example, a provider obtains pre-authorization for an MRI to ensure it will be covered by the patient’s insurance.
