You can get some services without going to your PCP first. These include:
- 24-hour Emergency Care (if you feel you have a true medical emergency)
- Routine Vision Care
- Dental Services (for children)
- OB/GYN Care
- Family Planning Services and Supplies
- Behavioral (Mental) Health and Substance Abuse Services
- Texas Health Steps
You can appeal a decision if Medicaid covered services are denied based on lack of medical need.

- Download the State of Texas Standard Prior Authorization Form.

Prior authorization is sometimes called pre-certification or pre-notification. Prior authorization verifies whether medical treatment that is not an emergency is medically necessary. It also determines if the treatment matches the diagnosis and that the requested services will be provided in an appropriate setting. During prior authorization, Baylor will also verify if the Member has benefits.
Prior authorization DOES NOT guarantee payment. Even if a Provider obtained the required prior authorization, Baylor must still process a Providers claim to determine if payment will be made. The claim is processed according to:
- Eligibility
- Contract limitations
- Benefit coverage guidelines
- Applicable State or Federal requirements
- National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits
- Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual (TMPPM)
- Other program requirements, as applicable
