All U.S. healthcare providers are privy to the tiresome and prolonged process of getting consent for prior authorization automation. From the number of documents to submit to the appeal process, it is a hassle no matter how experienced you are at it. Even worse, nearly 3 in 4 doctors claim that denial rates have increased to some extent over the past five years. This means that not only do you have to worry about prior authorization, but also have to wait for the denial so that you may appeal the decision and wait again. Fortunately, there is a solution for your business.
New AI systems can help automate the bulk of the prior authorization process, taking a heavy burden off the administrative staff. It will automatically retrieve patient info, verify that a PA is needed, fill out the necessary documents, prepare the PA request, and upload it. Then, it continually checks the status until the request is approved and will update the medical record when it does finally get approved. On average, these systems save providers 60% of their existing costs and can fully automate prior authorization by up to 82%. On top of all that, it frees up your staff to help patients have a positive experience, and spend less on PA requests. Helping you get back to taking care of your patients and doing what you do best.
