Navigating prior authorizations for Anthem Blue Cross California from an Optum Physician-affiliated practice often involves manual data entry across disparate systems.

The absence of a single Optum-proprietary EMR means PA workflows often depend on the underlying EMR system (e.g., Epic, Cerner, athena) and require navigating Anthem CA's specific submission channels, primarily Availity.
