Geisinger Health Plan Prior Authorization List

Overview

Cohere Health, a patient journey optimization company, has been asked to deploy its Digital Prior Authorization solution to allow users to submit a variety of services directly through Cohere’s platform. Starting Oct 1, 2023, Cohere began managing Geisinger Health Plan submissions for most of the following services: DME, radiology, cardiology, musculoskeletal, and pain intervention.

For more information and to view the official and most up-to-date Geisinger Preauthorization List (PAL), please visit Geisinger's provider website. If you decide to fax a request for the codes listed below, please send it directly to Geisinger.

All practices are encouraged to submit preauthorization requests electronically by registering* for a Cohere account. Only Cohere users can benefit from instant authorization decisions, if eligible.

* If your practice already has access to Cohere, please ask any existing Cohere administrative user(s) at your practice to create an account for you.

 

The codes listed below require authorization for all lines of business unless otherwise noted.
