Authorization is required if you need to treat a YouthCare Health member prior to being contracted. Our Medical Management department will review the member’s needs with you and issue an Authorization as needed if a contracted provider is not available to provide the services. Medical Management does coordinate with our contracting department when a non-contracted provider receives an Authorization.
