Frequently Asked Questions
What is precertification and why is it required?
Precertification is a requirement under your certificate for certain medical services. Please see your certificate for a list of services which require precertification. During the precertification 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 IMGLOBAL 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 of an accident or emergency illness.
