Pre-authorization for Imaging Exams

Most insurance companies require pre-authorization for imaging exams to be performed. If you have questions regarding pre-authorization requirements, please call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. If pre-authorization is required, that process will be initiated by the physician who ordered your imaging exam.

If you do not have insurance, the BWH Financial Counseling Office can assist you with the MassHealth/Medicaid application process.
