What dyspareunia treatments require prior authorization?
Some private insurance plans require prior authorisation for specialist consultations, pelvic floor physiotherapy, surgery, and long-term psychological therapy for dyspareunia. NHS treatment usually requires a GP referral rather than insurance approval.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Private health insurers often require authorisation for high-cost or long-term treatments. This may include pelvic physiotherapy (beyond a set number of sessions), specialist gynaecology reviews, surgical interventions, advanced imaging, or ongoing psychological support. Always confirm with your insurer before starting treatment. NHS: How to Access Services.
Clinical Context
Authorisation is usually based on medical necessity and documentation from your GP or consultant.
Evidence-Based Approaches
Insurance policies and NHS referral pathways help ensure that resources are used for those with clear clinical needs. Clinic: Contact.
