The PA lookup tool allows care providers to search codes by the specific line of business (Medicaid/SCHIP/Family Care, or Hoosier Care Connect) to determine if PA is required and which guideline is used for the case review. To access the PA lookup tool, go to https://www.anthem.com/in/provider and select the precertification lookup tool under the claims drop-down.
Contracted care providers can also access the provider lookup tool via Availity Essentials at https://Availity.com under Payer Services.
