Anthem Precertification List Change Notification for September 2023

The following services will be added to precertification for the effective dates listed below.

To obtain precertification, providers can access Availity Essentials (Availity.com) or call Anthem’s Utilization Management department using the number on the back of the member’s identification card. Service preapproval is based on member’s benefit plan/eligibility at the time the service is reviewed/approved.

Precertification can help avoid unnecessary charges or penalties by helping to ensure that the member's care is medically necessary and administered at an appropriate network facility and by a network provider.
