Summary
EmblemHealth has temporarily extended the draft saving period for portal preauthorization requests and inpatient admission notifications from 96 hours (4 days) to 192 hours (8 days). This gives providers extra time to complete and submit requests while adjusting to new portal enhancements.
Action Required
Immediately: Update staff workflows to take advantage of the extended 192-hour (8-day) draft saving period for preauthorization requests and inpatient admission notifications in the EmblemHealth portal. Ensure all staff know they must click 'Submit Request' button after addressing required clinical information to complete submissions - drafts will remain incomplete until submitted.
