Pre-Auth Check | Ambetter from Magnolia Health
Pre-Auth Needed?
Effective October 12, 2020, we are no longer sending hard copy or paper notifications for authorization approvals. Hard copies of denial letters will still be mailed to both provider and member. Approvals and denials will be available in real time in our secure provider portal.
All attempts are made to provide the most current information on the Pre-Auth Needed Tool. However, this does NOT guarantee payment. Payment of claims is dependent on eligibility, covered benefits, provider contracts, correct coding and billing practices. For specific details, please refer to the provider manual. If you are uncertain that prior authorization is needed, please submit a request for an accurate response.
