Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-authorization letter?
A pre-authorization letter (prior authorization or prior approval request) establishes medical necessity for mental health treatment and requests insurance coverage approval before services begin. It helps ensure the treatment will be covered and accelerates the approval process.
What should I include in the letter?
An effective pre-authorization letter should include: your credentials and contact information, client demographics and insurance details, DSM-5 diagnosis with code, presenting symptoms and functional impairment, proposed treatment plan with specific CPT codes, frequency and duration of sessions, medical necessity indicators, and evidence-based rationale for the recommended approach.
Can I submit this directly to insurance?
Yes, the letters generated are professional and suitable for direct submission to insurance companies. You may need to adjust them slightly for specific insurance requirements or add additional clinical details. Always verify current CPT codes and that your credentials are correct before submitting.
Is this HIPAA compliant?
This demo generates letters using templates and does not store any data. For production use with real client information, we recommend using the full Mental Note AI product, which is HIPAA-compliant and secure. Do not enter actual client names or details in this web tool—use it for reference or templates only.
