Navigating pre-authorizations is a critical aspect of medical practice, especially for out-of-network providers. Striking a balance between patient care and the increasing administrative load of pre-authorizations and denials is a common challenge. Healthcare practices spend, on average, 14.6 hours weekly on pre-authorizations and utilization management, costing over $68,000 annually per practice. This webinar is designed to simplify your pre-authorization process, freeing up valuable time for your staff and practice.

Understanding the detailed requirements of major insurance companies can significantly boost your approval rates. With the right knowledge and confidence, your practice can take control of patient care decisions rather than letting payers dictate them. In this webinar, our expert speaker Stephanie Thomas will guide you through the process of locating payer-specific guidelines and preparing effective authorization requests, ensuring success on the first submission.
