OnBoard: Limited Release (OBLR), the first phase of the Board’s new and improved business information system, is now live and in action! All three Limited Release phases are now implemented, with Medication, Durable Medical Equipment, and Treatment/Testing prior authorization requests (PARs) successfully flowing through the system each day.

Adding Frequency/Duration to PAR Submissions

The Board has received inquiries regarding where health care providers should be entering frequency and duration on PARs for applicable treatment. As part of every submission within OnBoard, the health care provider is required to enter or upload a statement of medical necessity and/or medical supporting documentation. If your request includes therapeutic modalities, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic and/or acupuncture services, please include the specific frequency and duration of the requested treatment in the Medical Necessity field highlighted below. If your request includes spinal levels, please include the specific spinal levels applicable to the request in the Medical Necessity field highlighted below.
