Wheelchair prior authorization information for DME providers and physicians

To help our members receive the DME equipment they need and help ensure no disruption in care, it is important to document that the physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or clinical nurse specialist has had a face-to-face encounter with the member. Additional details on this requirement and other information that will help ensure that your prior authorization request for a wheelchair is processed efficiently will be available at Important Medicare Advantage Updates at anthem.com/medicareprovider.
