If your doctor refers you to see a specialist, you will likely need to have prior authorization.

How prior authorization works and how to check status.
Your PCP might refer you to a specialist, such as a cardiologist, endocrinologist, or other physician who will care for your specific medical needs. However, some services will need to be pre-authorized before they can be performed.
Here’s how it works:
- The prior authorization is mailed directly to your address on record.
- Your specialist physician is responsible for any follow-up requests that you will need after your initial appointment.
You can track the status of your prior authorization at any time online.
Track your prior authorization

Urgent Care Finder.
Sometimes, the unexpected happens. Should this occur, and you need immediate medical care, an urgent care center may be a better option than an emergency room. An urgent care center may provide shorter wait times and fewer out-of-pocket costs than an emergency room.
