Using the provider portal does not require the installation of special software. However, Chrome or Firefox is the preferred web browser for accessing the portal. If you have not already done so, you will need to complete and submit a provider registration form. The provider portal is a secure website that allows providers to electronically submit medical authorization requests. This provides a fast and secure turn-around for authorization review. Users may log in to the provider portal to see the status of their authorization requests. Documents can be securely uploaded directly to the authorization request instead of faxing or mailing information which may delay the process.
