This eTool allows you to quickly access authorization information for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts members. It can be used by any provider rendering services to a Massachusetts member. (Federal Employee Program members may not be included.)

With this tool, you can:

• Find out if an authorization is required. Enter a procedure and diagnosis code (and a few other pieces of information) to see if authorization is required for an outpatient medical or behavioral health service, surgical service, or provider-administered medication.

• Check the status of a referral or authorization.

For our network providers

Authorization Quick Lookup doesn't replace Authorization Manager. It serves as a fast and easy alternative way to get information. Continue using Authorization Manager or any of our other eTools to enter authorization requests and to check on the status of referrals and authorizations. With Authorization Manager, you have full access to authorization information.

If an authorization is not required, you can make a note of the inquiry number returned in your results. To access the record in the future, you can use the "View Inquiry" feature in Authorization Manager.
