What Medical Services Need Preapproval

Certain covered services need to be authorized by your primary care physician and preapproved by Keystone prior to you receiving them. The primary care physician or referred specialist will obtain this approval from Keystone prior to providing services to you. Services in this category include, but are not limited to: hospitalization; certain outpatient services; skilled nursing facility services; and home health care. Services requiring preapproval are noted in your “Summary of Benefits,” pages 42-44. You have the right to appeal any decisions through the grievance process. Instructions for the appeal will be described in the denial notifications.
