How long should the prior authorization process take?

It can take up top 30 days to get the prior authorization approval. Once a determination has been made, a Financial Clearance Specialist will reach out to you.

Because it can take up to 8 weeks for the brace to arrive, the estimated patient balance that is provided by Financial Clearance prior to the brace being ordered may change based on where you are at in your benefit year. Please make sure you communicate to
the clinical team If you have any timeline concerns and how the approximate brace fitting appointment date may negatively affect your cost deductible/coinsurance amount. Examples: New insurance, deductible starting over for a new calendar year, employer changing, etc.
