Prior Authorization

There are specific medical treatments and hospitalization situations which require that you obtain, prior to commencement of treatment,  an authorization from the Society’s Medical Adviser.

It is essential that as member of the Society you are well aware of this process and that failure to obtain prior authorization may result in non payment of your medical and/or hospital bills.
