For medically necessary services, a prior authorization acts as a guideline for what the insurance will and will not cover. There may be an alternative treatment, such as a similar prescription drug or service, that is covered by the plan. In that case, your doctor will switch you to this service. However, if you need a specific treatment that is not currently covered, you can ask us to make an exception to our coverage rules. We will take your health needs into account when we make our decision. Learn more about coverage exceptions.
I have received a specific treatment in the past, but now it is not covered by my plan. What can I do?

A Nap a Day Could Keep The Doctor Away
Many Americans do not get enough sleep and this can contribute to a number of health issues. Taking a nap during the day can help your body restore itself and promotes brain and heart health. A 20-minute nap has a variety of health benefits – from improved mood, to better focus and memory function. In some cultures, napping is even prescribed as a health treatment by doctors!
If you have trouble sleeping, take steps to improve your quality of sleep.
