Allwell from Absolute Total Care Prior Authorization Update Effective January 1, 2020

Date: 10/31/19

Allwell from Absolute Total Care is committed to delivering cost effective quality care for our members. This effort requires us to ensure that our members only receive treatment that is medically necessary according to current standards of practice. Prior authorization is a process initiated by the ordering physician in which we verify the medical necessity of a treatment in advance using independent objective medical criteria.

Effective January 1, 2020, prior authorization requirements for certain Medicare services will be updated. For more information about these updates, please view the 2020 Prior Authorization Updates (PDF).
