    Identifi

    You can submit a prior authorization for Premera Individual plan members using the Identifi online submission tool or you can fax the prior authorization form. View code list.

    Access Identifi to submit a prior authorization request. Important: To prevent delays, check the prior authorization code list before submitting a request to see if review is required or should be submitted through AIM. Care notes, phone numbers, and fax numbers are required fields on the Identifi prior authorization tool.

    Once you log in, it takes 1-5 business days to process your access to Identifi. If you need to submit a prior authorization during the waiting period, which automatically starts once you've clicked on the link to the Individual Plan secure provider portal, you can fax your submission or call our utilization management team. You can also call the customer service number on the back of the member ID card. You'll receive a confirmation email once you have Identifi access.

    A form isn't needed for sending us refund (overpayment) checks. You can submit requests in writing and include the following related to the overpayment:

    • Member first and last name and ID number
    • Date of service
    • Amount and reason for refund
    • Primary explanation of payment (if related to coordination of benefits)
