Prior authorizations continue to be a major issue for providers across the country. A 2018 AMA survey found that physicians and their staff spend 2 business days (14.9 hours) per week completing prior authorizations and 91 percent of providers agreed that prior authorizations delayed patient care.
By automating the prior authorization workflow, you’re guaranteed faster approvals and fewer denials–immediately increasing your cash flow and improving patient satisfaction.
