Aetna to bundle prior authorizations for cancer treatment regimens

Aetna announced a new process to bundle prior authorizations for multi-step cancer treatment regimens, aiming to reduce administrative burden. This means a single approval may cover an entire course of chemotherapy or radiation rather than requiring separate authorizations for each phase or cycle. Oncology practices billing Aetna should confirm the new workflow details through the payer's provider portal and adjust internal tracking to align with the bundled approval structure. Verify that claims submitted under a bundled auth reference the correct approval ID to avoid denials.
