Navigating Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Prior Authorization
FEHB plans, administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), represent a distinct payer segment with specific benefit structures and oversight. While often leveraging commercial networks and processes, the underlying regulatory framework demands precise eligibility verification and adherence to plan-specific prior authorization criteria. Klivira understands these nuances, enabling a tailored approach to PA management.
