Prior Authorization and Your Coverage Eligibility and benefits are based on the date you received the services, not the date you received Prior Authorization. If you lose Coverage under this plan, services received after Coverage ends will not be Covered, even if we provided Prior Authorization. Prior Authorization Decisions – Non-Emergency We will evaluate non-emergent Prior Authorization requests and advise you and your Practitioner/Provider of our decision within seven working days after receiving all needed information.
