We are happy to get prior approval for any medications or diagnostic studies your insurance requires. However, Dr. Sosa is not an ‘in-network’ physician on any insurance plans, so if your plan is an HMO that requires authorizations to be done only by in-network physicians, we would not be able to do this and you would need to see the primary care doctor to whom you were assigned, and pay the office visit copay, in order to get an authorization. This typically applies to specialist referrals, but could also apply to imaging studies. We are not aware that any insurance plans require that medications be prescribed by an in-network physician in order to cover them, but if you have an HMO you should verify that as plan requirements change every year.
