BlueCard Prior Authorization/Medical Policies
Need prior authorization for a patient who is a member of another Blue plan? If prior authorization is required, you can initiate the process through My Insurance ManagerSM. Once you’ve logged in, go to Patient Care. Then select “Pre-Service Review for Out-of-Area Members” from the menu.
To view an out-of-area Blue Plan's medical policy or general prior authorization information, please select the type of information you need, enter the first three letters of the identification number on the member's Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield card, and click Submit.
