Jennifer Hamilton, MD PhD<p>Today's <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PriorAuthorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PriorAuthorization</span></a> rage: I'm trying to get a continuous glucose monitor for a diabetic patient. I prescribed the one her insurance prefers -- but prior auth is needed. Pt told me she was denied, because I didn't provide info. As near as I can tell, my office never got a request for info. So today I call to give the information. After 10+ minutes of prelim, rep tells me I CAN'T give info over phone. They need to fax me a form. I'm not at office. Sorry, it's got to be a fax.</p>
