Premera Prior Authorizations Moving to Availity Essentials

  • April 1, 2022

    Targeted for the end of second quarter of 2022, Premera providers will gain access to a new online prior authorizations experience on the Availity Essentials provider portal. The Availity prior authorization tool simplifies the submission process, so you won’t need to fax, mail, or call in your requests.

    Highlights include:

    • Inpatient and Outpatient Prior Authorizations: Complete and submit inpatient and outpatient prior authorizations and get real-time responses for your Premera members.
      • Auth/Referral Dashboard: View all submitted prior authorization requests and statuses from a single page and use filtering options to prioritize.
      • Auth/Referral Inquiry Tool: Check on the status of your requests.
    • Premera Code Check: Enter a procedure code to see if prior authorization is required.
    • Attachments: Add documents to your request.
