Participating, Preferred and Selections
The CPT and HCPCS Code List was developed to help you identify services we require be pre-authorized. In some cases no CPT or HCPCS code specifically identifies a service we preauthorize. For example, new services we consider investigational may not yet have a code. Please refer to the current Medical Pre-Authorization Lists to determine which lines of business the pre-authorization applies to and information concerning benefits and eligibility. Please note: Boeing out-of-area PPO and Selections Plus authorizations are offered when requested. This list does not pertain to Medicare products.
