          Authorization Request Overview

          Authorization Request Overview

          Medications, surgeries, personalized therapies, and healthcare treatments can all lead to huge bills for payers and patients. Many of these expensive procedures can be avoided or replaced by simpler, cost-effective alternatives that take place in outpatient settings. To verify cost of care and medical necessity of procedures and treatments, payers must conduct authorization reviews of the care requests that providers raise.

          But authorization reviews are often manual and highly dependent on variable factors such as care type and admission type, requiring you to switch between various processes to collate information. From need assessment to coverage benefit verification, authorization can be a lengthy process.
