NaviNet 
and IBC are receiving a number of inquiries related to Medical/Surgical and 
Chemotherapy/Infusion authorization requests. When initiating either of these 
requests through NaviNet, please follow these steps:
- Individual physician 
selection is no longer available as you now need to select the appropriate 
group and location from the Facility/Admitting Physician drop-down menu.
- Enter the member's complete 
identification number (including alpha prefix). Member name and date of birth 
are optional fields.
- Enter a date of service 
(Medical/Surgical requests can be dated retroactively up to 2 days from the 
current date, or up to 180 days into the future). 
- When searching for the status of a 
previously submitted authorization request, select the Group/Facility from the 
provider drop-down menu. Do not select an individual provider from the provider 
drop-down menu.
