Definition
PA (Prior authorization) is the electronic or written authorization issued by ForwardHealth to a provider prior to the provision of a
service. In most cases, providers are required to obtain PA before providing services that require PA. When granted, a PA
request is approved for a specific period of time and specifies the type and quantity of service allowed.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
