PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FOR NUCLEAR STRESS TESTING
AND GENERAL NUCLEAR MEDICINE
In the every changing climate of the healthcare insurance industry, most insurance companies
require prior authorization for nuclear stress testing and general nuclear medicine studies.
Authorization must be obtained by your referring/ordering physicians office, as they have your
history and are able to answer questions pertaining to the particular test your physician has
requested. The authorization number MUST be in place before your scheduled testing date.
There are some smaller insurances companies that also require pre-authorization so it is best to
always check with your insurance carrier prior to your appointment. We are available at any time
to help you and your physicians obtain the pre-authorization.
