Precertification lookup tool
Use this tool to identify outpatient services that need precertification.
Please note:
- This tool is intended solely for outpatient services.
- Inpatient services and providers who do not participate always need precertification.
- This tool does not reflect benefits coverage* nor does it include a comprehensive list of all noncovered services (such as experimental procedures, cosmetic surgery, etc.) — Refer to your provider manual for coverage details and limitations.
*Services may be listed as requiring precertification that might not be covered benefits for a specific member. Please verify benefit coverage before providing services.
