Physicians and clinical staff spend a significant amount of energy and resources on addressing pre-authorization requests. This not only drives up the administrative costs for healthcare providers, but also results in having less time to treat patients. This is a pain point for patients, providers and payers. A large part of claim denials occur due to the lack of up-front clarity about the guidelines and requirements – and can be avoided easily.
