The Minnesota Petition for Physicians Authorization is a form that must be completed by a licensed physician in order to authorize a medical procedure or treatment for a patient. The form must be submitted to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice (BMP) for review and approval. The petition must include the patient’s name, date of birth, diagnosis, prognosis, proposed treatment plan, and the risks and benefits associated with the proposed treatment. The BMP will review the petition and make a decision regarding authorization. There are four types of Minnesota Petition for Physicians Authorization: 1. Standard Authorization — This is the most common type of petition and is used for most routine treatments. 2. Expedited Authorization — This type of petition is used for urgent medical procedures or treatments that cannot wait for the standard authorization process. 3. Variance Authorization — This type of petition is used for treatments that are outside the scope of usual medical practice. 4. Exemption Authorization — This type of petition is used for treatments that are prohibited by law or regulations.
