Medically Urgent Prior Authorization (PA) Requests through the Health PAS Online Portal: Medically Urgent Field Added, CR 61353

An urgent field has been added to the Direct Data Entry (DDE) PA Request Screen on the Health PAS Online Portal. You now have the option to mark your PA as medically urgent before submitting the PA. Prior to this change, you were required to submit medically urgent PA request through fax or mail. MDME now encourages you to submit them through the portal. Please note that this field should be utilized for medically urgent PA requests, not time sensitive ones.
