    Asking for a member ID number on a call is acceptable because it helps to verify the identity of the person being spoken to and ensures that sensitive information is only shared with authorized individuals. This practice is commonly used in various industries such as healthcare, insurance, and banking to maintain security and protect customer data.

    Explanation
    If a doctor is requesting a backdated authorization more than 6 months from the DOS (Date of Service), it indicates a potential issue with the claim.
