Prior Authorization Lookup Tool


Availity’s Precertification Lookup Tool helps you know if an outpatient procedure requires prior authorization.

Please verify benefit coverage prior to rendering services. Inpatient services and non-participating providers always require prior authorization.

Please note:

  1. This tool is for outpatient services only.
  2. Inpatient services and non-participating providers always require prior authorization.
  3. This tool does not reflect benefits coverage* nor does it include an exhaustive listing of all non-covered services (for example, experimental procedures, cosmetic surgery, etc.) — refer to your Provider Manual for coverage/limitations.

* Services may be listed as requiring prior authorization that may not be covered benefits for a particular member. Please verify benefit coverage prior to rendering services.

To determine coverage of a particular service or procedure for a specific member, do one of the following:

  • Access eligibility and benefits information on the Availity Essentials.
  • Use the Prior Authorization Tool within Availity.
  • Call Provider Services at 1-833-388-1406 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday.

To request authorizations:

  • From the Availity home page, select Patient Registration from the top navigation.
  • Select Auth/Referral Inquiry or Authorizations.
