I don't know how my primary care and medical colleagues deal with this and stay sane, but prior auths are the tool of Satan. If I had to do them more than occasionally, I would likely be reduced to a gibbering pool of mush.

I use a crayon on the forms sometimes. I don't know if that's a protest, or a sign of me going off the deep end of the wading pool.

I just told them I might have to take the patient back to the operating room (which was true). What I was asking for was something to try to avoid reoperation. I can't get more specific than that. So in this case, denial of prior auth could be pennywise but pound foolish.

My favorite is the recurrent order I get for adult diapers. There is already a diagnosis on the form stating “full incontinence of feces”. The form requires “reason for medical necessity (other than diagnosis)”. That’s when I pull out my crayon and scrawl “poops on self”.
