Scorecard for Year 2025
We are required by federal law to share this information each year on our website. Specifically, we share information about services that require prior authorization, as well as counts on prior authorization requests for those items and services (e.g., approvals, denials) from the previous calendar year. Prior authorization means your provider must get approval from us before you receive certain medical services or items. This information does not include prescription drugs.
On this page, you will find:
- A list of medical services and items that require prior authorization list of all medical items and services (not including drugs)
- A summary of prior authorization requests from last year prior authorization metrics
