EmblemHealth reviews prior-authorization requests against its published medical policies — diagnosis with ICD-10 code, documented step-therapy history, and prescriber attestation of medical necessity. The applicable product, plan terms, request type, urgency, and governing law determine the decision and appeal clocks. Confirm both in the current member-specific source and denial notice. Criteria by drug appear below.
