Where Can I Find a Doctor or Hospital?   
(If you have an emergency medical condition, please
call 911 or your local emergency services number)
 
PRE-CERTIFICATION


Precertification is a requirement under your certificate for certain medical services.  Pre-certification is a general determination of medical necessity only, not an assurance of coverage, verification of benefits or a guarantee of payment.


The following must always be pre-certified for medical necessity before admission or receiving the treatments and/or supplies:

  • Any treatment requiring inpatient hospitalization
  • Surgery or surgical procedure, including outpatient surgery
  • CAT scans or MRI's
  • Care in an extended care facility
  • Home nursing care
  • Chemotherapy
  • Radiation Therapy
  • Interfacility Ambulance Transfer
During the pre-certification process, medical professionals review the planned medical services against standard medical criteria to ensure that the services are within accepted medical standards and are medically necessary. 
Precertification may be initiated by you, your representative or your medical provider.  This can be done through 
MyIMG, through the Client Resources page of www.IMGLOBAL.com or by calling IMG at 1-800-628-4664 (within the U.S.) or 1-317-655-4500. 

Most U.S. hospitals and physicians are familiar with the precertification process and will make the phone call for you, though they are not required to do this.  You are responsible for ensuring the precertification process is done five days before you are hospitalized or within 48 hours after an emergency admission to the hospital.
