FAQ
Coverage criteria are the specific clinical requirements a payer sets for covering a drug, procedure, or service: diagnoses, symptom duration, prior treatments tried, age limits, and documentation. They are published inside medical policies and clinical criteria documents, and a claim or authorization that does not meet them is denied as not medically necessary.
