Home ► Prior authorizations Show CMS sponsors a variety of programs intended to safeguard beneficiary access to medically necessary items and services while reducing improper Medicare billing and payment. Prior authorization (PA) serves as a screening mechanism to help CMS ensure continued compliance with Medicare coverage requirements. Under prior authorization, the provider or supplier submits the prior authorization request and supportive medical documentation to the MAC and receives an affirmed or non-affirmed decision prior to rendering the service. These initiatives do not change any medical necessity or documentation requirements.
