This will depend on the treatment recommendations made at your first visit:
- If imaging, tests, injections or surgery was recommended the authorization process will be started immediately following your visit (this process usually takes 10-15 business days total);
- During your visit orders are entered into the system and sent to be reviewed by trained coders to assure information is accurate (1-2 business days);
- The office visit notes and treatment order are then sent to the insurance/adjuster for authorization. (7-10 business days);
- After the authorization or denial is received it is forwarded to the appropriate scheduling or doctor’s team to contact the patient, either to schedule or discuss other options, if the recommended treatment is denied.
