Outsource prior authorization services
Pre-authorizations (PAs) are a very labor-intensive task for healthcare providers, their staff, and patients. Prior authorization is a process by which healthcare providers must be eligible for payment coverage. This is done by obtaining advanced approval from a health plan before a specific service is delivered to a patient. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), prior authorization is overused, and existing processes present significant administrative and clinical concerns. Outsourcing your prior authorizations process can help your practice focus on patient care. It will also allow a trusted partner to manage the process with high quality standards while relieving your staff of the administrative burden.
