This will also help you gain a better understanding of the financial aspects of your policy. Most insurance plans would require you to pay a premium instalment by a stipulated due date in order to keep the coverage active. Should one fail to pay this premium in full by the due date, and its subsequent grace period, the insurance company may then opt to suspend or cancel your coverage altogether. As a result, the costs of treating your migraines, depending on its severity, may involve expenses for medications, doctor’s appointments, and medical examinations which will have to come out of your own pocket. The three notable types of out-of pocket costs include a deductible (a preset amount you must pay before insurance coverage kicks in), a co-insurance (an amount for services you must pay after a deductible has been agreed upon, and usually involves a percentage), and a co-payment (a preset, flat rate for services after a deductible has been agreed upon).
Look Out for Any Special Coverage Requirements
Now that you’ve gained a complete overview of what your insurance policy coverage entails, be on the lookout for any PA requirements that you must fulfil before the insurance company compensates you for migraine treatment or medications. Some insurance policies may often include a clause that requires you to undergo a thorough evaluation from a neurologist prior to receiving specific migraine medications. Alternatively, other insurance policies may include a clause that requires patients to be prescribed medications in a particular order so as to achieve certain outcomes.
In most cases, your doctor’s office will be responsible for submitting the PA, seeing as they will also need to demonstrate that a certain treatment modality or medications is required. With assistance from the staff at your doctor’s office, ensure that all documents are completed with haste and accuracy, so as to enable the document processing to begin immediately.
Stay on Top of All the Important Deadlines
Apart from starting the PA submission process early, it is also vital that you are aware of all submission deadlines, as this will help you avoid any last-minute discrepancies. If for some unexpected reason, urgency is required for your submission, do find out beforehand as to how you can expedite the process to meet the deadline.
