Yes a Single Case Agreement is different from a Procedure Authorization, though they are related and often used in conjunction with each other. SCA is a negotiated contract between OON provider and an insurance company to cover a specific patient care. Procedure Authorization also called pre authorization or prior authorization is requesting for payer approval for a specific service or procedure before it is performed.
