HMO pre-approval

Get your LOA approved before your visit

Request HMO pre-approval online before your visit. Our HMO Help Desk coordinates with your HMO, and your Letter of Authorization (LOA) appears in your account once approved.

How it works

  1. 1

    Submit your request

    Choose your HMO, enter your member details and the service you need.

  2. 2

    Upload your documents

    A clear photo or PDF of your HMO card, valid ID and doctor's request.

  3. 3

    We coordinate with your HMO

    Our HMO Help Desk checks your documents and contacts your HMO. We may ask for more information.

  4. 4

    Receive your LOA

    We notify you of the decision. Your LOA number, coverage and validity appear in your account.

Documents usually needed

  • HMO card (front and back)
  • Valid government ID
  • Doctor's request / prescription

Some HMOs need additional documents. Approval and coverage are decided by your HMO. An approved LOA may cover only part of the cost — any amount not covered is paid at the hospital.
