Assembling the pre-operative program at Gastric Band Specialists

A bariatric program at Gastric Band Specialists requires clearances before the operating room: the dietitian's counseling summary, the behavioral-health evaluation, and any specialist clearance are faxed into the chart. Include the date of the evaluation and the patient's identifiers so the receiving office matches it cleanly. Flag a clearance that affects the surgery date so it is not treated as routine.

How a prior-authorization packet moves from Gastric Band Specialists

A bariatric case at Gastric Band Specialists lives or dies on the prior authorization, so the office faxes the supervised-diet record, the BMI-history documentation, and the comorbidity list the plan requires before it will approve surgery. A prior-authorization packet should carry the supervised-diet visit notes, the BMI history, and the documented comorbidities together. Put the member ID and the patient's identifiers on every page.
