Project Summary: In MOT130, you read about pre-authorization and were asked quiz/exam questions about it, but what does this process actually entail? What are the consequences if pre-authorization is not performed/completed? How do you think pre-authorization is actually performed in this "internet" age? Why is pre-authorization so important and what information needs to be made available and provided to insurance companies (or their third party processors) to make this process a success? Why is accuracy and relevance of ICD10 and CPT codes so important? There are numerous web sites that you can search to obtain these answers, and for those of you with experience of working in the health care industry, you probably have personal experiences that you can use. Make sure to list your research sources. Points will be deducted if these are not provided in your posts.
