Prior authorization is a requirement set by insurance payers that mandates healthcare providers to obtain approval before delivering certain medical treatments, procedures, or medications. It ensures that the prescribed service is medically necessary and meets the payer’s guidelines.

decreases the likelihood of claim rejections by obtaining clearance beforehand.
reduces healthcare costs by assisting insurers in cost management and avoiding needless procedures.
enhances the coordination of patient care by guaranteeing that patients receive authorized and timely therapies.
Common Challenges in Prior Authorization

The procedure is made more difficult by sophisticated insurance plans with different criteria for different payers.
