Pre-Authorization (Prior Auth) When Required (Abu Dhabi — DAMAN) All surgical procedures Specia列出 referrals (Enhanced plan) Advanced investigations (MRI, CT, PET 扫描) High-cost medications Admission/hospitalization Pre-Auth Process

• Physician determines need
• 命令行工具nic submits pre-auth 请求 via:

- DAMAN portal (thiqa.ae / myDaman) - MedNet portal - TPA-specific portal

• Include: ICD-10 diagnosis, CPT procedure code, 命令行工具nical justification
• Decision: 应用roved / Denied / Pended (need more 信息)
• If 应用roved: authorization number 接收d — attach to ALL clAIms
• Validity: typically 30 days; re-auth needed if expired
• If denied: 应用eal with 添加itional 命令行工具nical documentation

Critical: Never perform an 授权d-required procedure without auth number. ClAIm will be rejected and 恢复y nearly impossible.

ClAIm Submission Coding 系统 (UAE Standard) Diagnosis: ICD-10-CM (10th revision, 命令行工具nical Modification) Procedures: CPT (Current Procedural Termino记录y) — American 系统, universally used in UAE Medications: Brand + generic name + dose + quantity ClAIm 组件s □ Patient demographics (name, Emirates ID, DOB) □ Insurance card detAIls (ID, group, network, expiry) □ Authorization number (if required) □ Date of 服务 □ Diagnosis codes (ICD-10) — primary + secondary □ Procedure codes (CPT) — all 服务s rendered □ Medications dispensed (if 应用licable) □ Physician name + license number □ 命令行工具nic 提供者 ID □ Total charges □ Physician 签名ature (or electronic)

Submission Timelines Payer Type Submission Deadline DAMAN Thiqa 60 days from 服务 DAMAN Basic/Enhanced 60 days Most TPAs 90 days International insurers 180 days

Never miss submission deadlines — rejected for timely filing is un应用ealable.
