Prior Authorizations
Prior authorization lookup tool
AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire providers are responsible for obtaining prior authorization for certain services. Your claim may be denied or rejected if the prior authorization was not obtained before the service was rendered.
Prior authorization is not a guarantee of payment for the service authorized. AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire reserves the right to adjust any payment made following a review of the medical record or other documentation and/or determination of the medical necessity of the services provided.
