Some Aetna insurance plans have implemented a pre-authorization process based both on units and specific CPT® codes. We created the following workflow recommendations to help WebPT Members affected by these new requirements. If your practice is affected, we also recommend reviewing Aetna’s Precertification Lists page to see which CPT® codes require pre-authorization.
Please note that while WebPT will provide your clinic with suggestions on how to best track required authorizations, it is ultimately your responsibility to identify and meet the requirements denoted in your payer agreements.
