- Enables providers to quickly determine if prior authorization is required.
- Directs providers to third-party vendors when appropriate.
Phase 2 (Cite AutoAuth): Go-Live February 26, 2025
- Provides an automated, evidence-based system to facilitate the prior authorization process.
- Allows providers to receive faster determinations.
To better help providers navigate the changes, we are offering a series of upcoming webinars. Please review the information below for details and registration information. Each session will last approximately one hour.
