In case of a planned hospitalization, client needs to inform Safeway two to three days in advance by faxing us the pre-authorization form (form on Website) signed by the treating doctor. Your claim would be assessed in the light of the policy issued to you by your insurance company and a letter of authorization will be issued to the hospital authorizing the patient's treatment. In case of an emergency the hospital will fax the pre-authorization letter. Once the Authority letter is sent to the hospital from Safeway, you need not pay to the hospital. Safeway will pay your hospital bills up to the amount authorized in the Authority letter.
