The precertification list will be updated effective January 1, 2023. See the attached PDF for the updates. 

 

To obtain precertification, providers can access Availity* at www.availity.com or call our 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.

 

* Availity, LLC is an independent company providing administrative support services on behalf of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
