Please read the following information from the HCA regarding website updates.
We are updating the
Billers and providers section of our website to include a new prior authorization (PA) page. We heard from providers that this was information missing on our website.
Additionally, we will clean up the
Provider billing guides and fee schedules page by removing outdated items from the listing.
When will these changes occur?
Changes will be made Monday, April 30, after close of business.

To accommodate the new page, we need to make some changes to the way things are structured.
