Health plan pre-authorization (also called prior authorization or precertification) is a process where your doctor must get approval from your health insurance provider before covering a specific medical service, procedure, or prescription. It serves as a check to ensure the proposed treatment is medically necessary, safe, and cost-effective. Many health plans are now available that do not require any pre-authorization. For information on these plans, please call DFW Direct Insurance at 817-449-5557.
