Let Authnet Focus On Prior Authorizations So You Don't Have To

While most people don’t usually plan on getting sick or hurt, everyone will need health care at some point or another. Medical insurance offers valuable financial protection against unforeseen events and can benefit both patients and healthcare providers. However, before a certain medical service can be covered by an insurance policy, it may need to go through a prior authorization process.

For many healthcare service providers, prior authorization can be a daunting task. In fact, medical prior authorization costs so much time and resources that it can offset some of the benefits of healthcare insurance on the part of service providers. Pre-authorizations can be time-consuming and expensive at the same time. Because of this administrative burden, many doctors and health care providers outsource necessary tasks to third-party medical billing service providers to cut operational costs and focus more time on providing better medical services.

Provide Better Patient Experience

A doctor’s time and attention should be primarily focused on caring for patients rather than managing insurance prior authorization paperwork. Prior authorization can be a lengthy process that requires multiple time-consuming steps to complete. From securing the right documents to dealing with long waits, it can easily take huge chunks of time from doctors and staff, time that could have been spent on providing exceptional patient service.

The processes for prior authorizations continue to grow year after year. And with the need to decrease costs being greater than ever, many health plans are still continuing to increase the number of prior authorizations that are required for both medical and prescription benefits.

Prior authorizations are used by insurance companies to determine whether or not a policyholder is able to receive coverage for healthcare. This is often a complex process that involves several different parties including the patient, healthcare provider, insurance company, and the pharmacy (to learn more about the prior authorization, check out this blog post).

In today’s blog, we are going to be covering who can process prior authorizations, what the pharmacist’s role is in the process, and whether or not a prior authorization can become a function of pharmacy practice. Read on to learn more, and if you are looking to have prior authorizations outsourced for your medical practice, be sure to reach out to our team at AuthNet today for a free demonstration of our prior authorization services.

When it comes to health insurance, it is important to keep in mind that some injuries and other healthcare services are not covered by health insurance. Keeping these in mind is a great way to prevent the nasty surprise of a big medical bill that you thought your health insurance was going to cover. Read on to learn what to watch out for, and if you run a medical facility and are looking for professional pre-authorization services, give us a call at AuthNet today for a free demo of our state-of-the-art solution.

1. Breaking the Law

While this one may be common sense to some, others forget that your health insurance likely will not pay for healthcare costs you racked up while doing something illegal. This is called the illegal act exclusion, and if your health insurance policy has one, it means that you will not be covered if you need medical attention due to an illegal act.

A great example of this would be if you burned yourself. If you did this lighting up the grill at a family picnic and racked up a $2,000 medical bill, you are most likely going to be covered. But, if you burn yourself while freebasing cocaine and rack up a $2,000 medical bill, that bill will be coming to you if your health insurance policy has an illegal act exclusion.

Healthcare facilities know all too well the struggle that comes with prior authorizations. Not only do they cost physicians practice time and money, but also have a detrimental effect on overall patient care.

Insurance companies may require precertification for outpatient and inpatient hospital services, observation services, physician-ordered medical tests, clinical procedures, invasive procedures, medication, medical devices, and more. This means that they will not pay for the service or medication until the physician has submitted elaborate paperwork that shows the necessity of the medical service or medication. Not only does this cause massive strain on the physician, but in addition to the documentation, preauthorization policies differ among insurers.

But there are steps that physicians can take in order to obtain prior authorizations in an efficient manner and prevent denials that cause further setbacks, which we will be discussing in today’s post. If you have any further questions about prior authorizations and how you can make this process easier for your practice, please don’t hesitate to reach out to AuthNet today. We are a prior authorization provider and would be more than happy to assist your practice with this task so you can focus on your daily operations and providing your patients with the care that they deserve.

What if we told you that obtaining preauthorization no longer needs to be a time consuming and troublesome process? While many physicians are strongly pushing for complete elimination of preauthorizations, this scenario is unlikely. But fortunately there are a few steps that physicians can take in order to speed up this process and make prior authorizations much less costly and vexatious.

Step #1: Outsource Your Prior Authorizations

Taking into consideration how much time your staff likely spends completing prior authorizations, it doesn’t make sense to put someone who doesn’t have experience in charge of having them completed. Not only will this be much more time consuming, but it can also lead to unnecessary mistakes. Instead, hire a company whose main focus is prior authorizations and has the expertise in this area. Not only does outsourcing this process save your medical center money in the long run, but because prior authorization specialists are continuously trained on new policies and guidelines, it will prevent you from the burden of preauth training. It also alleviates the headache that typically comes with having stacks of paperwork to fill out on top of a long day of work.

Although prior-authorizations are implemented to help with cost-containment, it is also very labor-intensive for health care providers, pharmacists, and patients. They require multiple telephone conversations and letters with supporting documentation, making it expensive and administratively unsustainable for many health care providers. With the number of insurance plans growing and there being more drugs than ever before requiring prior authorizations, it makes it more and more difficult for providers to keep up — and the failure to obtain proper prior authorizations can have a detrimental effect on the income of a practice. In today’s blog, we will be discussing how and why hiring a company to handle your prior authorizations is key to speeding up the prior authorization process, saving your practice and your patients both time and money.

They simplify pre-authorization services.

Considering how much time your staff likely spends on pre-authorizations, it makes no sense to hire someone who is inexperienced with these processes to be in charge of this activity or spend a large amount of time (and money) performing interviews on potential candidates for the position. Instead, when you choose to outsource these services with an expert team in medical billing like AuthNet, you are not only speeding up the process but simplifying it. When you work with our team, all you have to do is enter your patient’s appropriate demographics, diagnosis, and CPT codes into our secure portal which prompts our team to begin the process. Then, our pre-authorization insurance specialists take care of the entire process from start to finish (including follow-ups and appeals) so you don’t have to.

With the world currently experiencing an unprecedented healthcare crisis, there is now a sense of chaos and panic that many people have never experienced before. With this widespread panic, healthcare providers are taking a lot of heat from patients who are seeking answers, asking questions, and so forth. Providers must do all that that they can to keep their patients informed, calm, and safe, and in today’s post, we will be providing tips on doing just that. This way, you will be able to connect and communicate well with your patients during this novel COVID-19 pandemic.

If your medical center is looking for assistance with pre-authorization services during this time (or anytime), please do not hesitate to give AuthNet a call. We would be more than happy to partner with you to make the process as smooth as possible for both you and your patients.

Tip #1: Ensure that your business information is both available and up-to-date.

Due to the fact that COVID-19 has caused many practices to temporarily change some of their standard business practices, it is important to keep any business information updated online. Doing so will allow both current and prospective patients to stay in the loop.

In the face of the current COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the globe, hospitals everywhere are being tremendously impacted. The virus has led to healthcare system disruptions that are necessary for combatting the immediate threat of the virus, according to physicians. But, these disruptions are also forcing many patients who do not have the virus to take on a heavy burden. Individuals who are experiencing chronic conditions are needing to fight harder for the care they need — not only now, but also after the outbreaks come to an end. Hospitals will be left to deal with backlogs from appointments and canceled surgeries all at once.

While obstacles are mounting, supplies are running slim, and staff are becoming infected with the virus themselves leaving many hospitals short-staffed — one way that healthcare facilities can take a little bit of the load off is to outsource prior authorizations. In today’s post, we will be going through a few of the many ways that hospitals and other medical centers are being affected by COVID-19, and how working with AuthNet’s prior authorization services can help physicians continue focusing on what matters the most — their patients — instead of having to worry about paperwork.

Put simply, a prior-authorization is a process used by certain health insurance companies to determine whether or not they will cover a prescribed medication or health services. This restriction is placed in order to help both your doctor and your insurance provider feel comfortable that your medications and/or services are medically appropriate for your care. At Authnet, we know that as a patient, the prior-authorization process can be frustrating. Here is a real-world example of the prior authorization process, what it entails, and how Authnet can help make this process go more smoothly for both medical centers and patients.

Real World Example

Say you go into the doctor to discuss some flu-like symptoms you have been having. You are then prescribed medication and head over to your pharmacy to pick up your medication. Upon arrival, the pharmacist proceeds to tell you that your prescription won’t go through your insurance company without prior-authorization. Now, not only does your stomach hurt, but now you have a headache just from trying to get your medications. In most cases, your pharmacist will then contact your doctor and let them know that your medication requires prior authorization. Your doctor will then contact your insurance company and fill out the appropriate forms needed for approval. Sometimes, the insurance company may need you to fill out additional paperwork. This process can often take days to complete, even weeks — and no one wants to have to wait for relief when they are feeling under the weather. The reason for this is because many medical centers only have one or two staff members who are in charge of filing all of their paperwork — which can add up quickly. That is where our team and state-of-the-art software at Authnet comes into play.

As a healthcare provider, you are no stranger to the amount of time that is consumed by pre-authorization tasks. It sucks up a lot of time, to be sure. But it’s more than just a minor annoyance. When you actually look at the numbers, it can feel downright criminal to realize how much time and how many resources are lost to pre-authorization.

You can expect to lose over 14 hours per provider each and every week from pre-authorization tasks. That’s more than 700 hours a year that you are spending on a bureaucratic task. If you have multiple providers, your office might be spending thousands of hours on pre-authorization services.

But, again, it’s not just time. It’s so much more than that. We’ve written before about the true costs of pre-authorization. It can be incalculable once you start to consider things like patient experience and employee satisfaction. Even in purely monetary terms, however, you’re looking $28,000 in annual costs per provider when you choose to handle pre-authorizations in-house. AuthNet will not only help you save money, but we can improve the entire experience of your office, from employees to patients. So, let’s take a look at what you can do with all that extra time you’ll get!

It’s well-established that precertification causes an office to work less efficiently. We’ve discussed how it affects client experience, contributes to the stress of employees, and costs time and money — lots and lots of time and money. In fact, in a previous blog post, we discussed how you can expect an average annual cost of $28,000 per provider to do precertification in-house.

In today’s blog post, we want to take a look at the role that in-house precertification play in care delays. According to a report released last year from the American Medical Association (AMA), precertification issues are associated with 92 percent of care delays. There’s reason to be optimistic for institutional changes to help with these (as we looked at in our previous blog). Additionally, outsourcing precertification through AuthNet can help mitigate the ample costs of precertification. Be sure to contact us to learn more about making your office more efficient. In the meantime, let’s take a closer look at the effect of precertification and care delays.

AuthNet wants to keep our clients updated on everything that is going on in the world of prior authorization and precertification. As of June 5, 2019, there is talk of a bill on pre-authorization services going to Congress. The bill is expected to be introduced to Congress within the next couple of days. In our blog today, we will take a look at what this bill involves and why it matters to pre-authorization services.

What Is The Bill?

The name of the bill is the “Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act of 2019.” This bill is specifically addressing issues with pre-authorization services for Medicare Advantage plans. It includes protections for beneficiaries and a strategy for making real-time decisions in order to avoid the lengthy waiting periods associated with pre-authorization. In short, the bill is attempting to simplify the process for pre-authorization for Medicare Advantage plans.

The precertification process can be intensely stressful and time-consuming — not to mention expensive. As an example, for your typical primary care office, it’s estimated that the median amount spent on insurance prior-authorizations is more than $47,000 per full-time physician. When you’re dealing with these kinds of costs, it only makes sense to consider outsourcing. Something has to change, after all. It simply isn’t worth it to spend all that time and money on something that offers no benefit to the function of your office.

Considering this, the next step is to look into various prior-authorization services. AuthNet offers top-tier prior-authorization services, and there are many reasons why we stand apart. This blog will take a look at just a few. Here are three reasons to choose AuthNet for your prior-authorization services.

1. Expertise

The professionals at AuthNet bring you the absolute best service. We provide better insurance authorization processes and smarter methods in obtaining medical preauthorizations so that everything functions better for everyone. We are able to do this because all of our insurance authorization specialists receive thorough training and develop a deep understanding of the pre-authorization process.

As we have talked about before, having efficient precertification practices can greatly improve patient experience. Moreover, the benefits of high-quality patient experience can be inestimable. Fundamentally, after all, this is a service industry with the primary aim of improving people’s lives. It is, in other words, about the patient.

As medical professionals, it is important to remember how far removed the average patient is from the bureaucracy and inner-workings of the medical world. The members of your team are highly-trained medical experts, which is, of course, invaluable. Nevertheless, it can pay to stay sensitive to the knowledge base of the average non-professional. It is often left in the hands of medical coverage companies to explain the details of coverage, including precertification.

Unfortunately, these explanations tend to be overly complex for many people who are first being introduced to the concept of precertification. Having an outline of the fundamentals of precertification — and why it matters — can be just another step toward positive patient experience. AuthNet is a fantastic resource for both medical professionals and patients to learn more about precertification. Contact us today to learn more.

Operating a standalone medical office can feel like running a small coffee shop across the street from a Starbucks. Whether yours is a rural practice treating myriad different ailments every day or a small office with a single specialty, it can be hard to find the happy balance between caring for your patients and caring for your operational costs. Outsourcing your insurance pre-certification needs to a specialty service like AuthNet is a great way to ensure your patients get the care they need while saving your practice money. Here’s how it works:

Timely Processing

How many appointments in the last month have needed to be canceled last minute because an insurance prior authorization has not been processed or approved? When appointments are canceled at the last minute, not only is your patient’s time wasted, but so is your staff’s. Each time an appointment has to be canceled or rescheduled, that is likely an hour or more of the physician’s time wasted because it can be nearly impossible to fill those time slots at last minute. At AuthNet, a key part of our prior authorization process includes following up with every request within 24 to 48 hours. We undertake the follow-up to minimize appointments that need to be canceled because of unprocessed requests.

Medical care often gets a bad reputation for providing the exact opposite of what patients expect. Instead of being able to get in and out for a routine appointment quickly, busy patients often find themselves using up the entirety of their lunch hour or afternoon off and don’t even make it through to see the doctor. First and foremost, healthcare is about helping people. Don’t let things like office function hinder that primary mission. If you’re looking for ways to provide a better patient experience, try these tips.

Create a Patient-Forward Focus

Given the demands of operating any business, especially one as complex as a medical office, it can be surprisingly simple for the patient focus to slip by the wayside. HIPAA compliance, medical billing requirements, and every other sundry aspect of daily operations can feel imperative. Somewhere in there, little touches that speak to patient experience can easily slip through the cracks. If you are looking for ways to provide a better overall experience, step one is to shift the focus. All staff members should remember that they are ultimately in a customer service industry — and act accordingly. This means your front desk staff, of course, but it also means doctors, nurses, insurance authorization staff, and anyone else who may run into a patient in the halls.

A troubling trend among insurance companies is threatening orthopedic ASCs across the country: narrowing payable diagnosis codes for osteoarthritis of the knee. Surgeons need to prove patients have a very specific diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis before payers will preauthorize surgery. Several payers will no longer preauthorize surgery based on "knee pain" and look for patients to meet certain criteria before an osteoarthritis diagnosis can be applied.

For example, Aetna considers patients with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis, as calculated by Outerbridge classification I and II, with knee pain as well as mechanical symptoms from loose bodies and meniscal tears candidates for arthroscopic debridement based on medical necessity. The payer considers "arthroscopic debridement for persons with osteoarthritis presenting with knee pain only or with severe osteoarthritis (Outerbridge classification III or IV)" to be experimental.

"If you want to do arthroscopic debridement for people with osteoarthritis presenting with knee pain, you'll have a hard time getting that paid by payers," says Terry Coleman, president of in2itive Business Solutions. "You have to get the preauthorization, and insurance companies are narrowing the payable diagnosis codes. We hope this isn't the beginning of a trend across the board, and we advise ASCs to monitor insurance company policies."

Those in the medical profession understand the importance of ensuring that each patient’s needs are met and met within a timeframe that allows for the most beneficial treatment and healing time for them. However, patients’ needs extend well beyond the quality healthcare services they receive from your healthcare center, hospital, or private practice; patients’ insurance and medical billing information is of the utmost importance when it comes to providing optimal healthcare services, whether the patient is in for a routine visit or is requiring emergency surgery.

Why Precertification is Important

There are myriad reasons why offering precertification services benefit you and your patients but ultimately, medical precertification allows you and your staff to provide your quality medical services without the additional stress of being bogged down by numerous precertification inquiries. Additionally, precertification determines if a patient’s medical procedure is necessary and meets the qualifications of their insurance plan. Further, precertification ensures that unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses are avoided. Often, precertifications save both you and your patient’s time and money by finely combing through insurance plans to get the most accurate understanding of the plan as possible. Finally, precertification ensures that patients receive the medical professional best suited for their condition. This means no chance of a patient finding their way into your office who could best benefit from another medical professional.

Time is Money

With the ever-increasing breakneck pace of today’s business and medical environments, optimizing your day-to-day activities and responsibilities is of the utmost importance when it comes to timely and accurate turnaround for a variety of processes.

Consider this: each unique patient has equally unique medical needs, thus necessitating specific actions taken for their medical situation. If you and your medical practice are overburnded with an influx with highly-specified medical billing procedures, this can stall your billing queue, signaling a host of complications not only for you and your practice, but the patients for whom you seek to treat. If a patient’s medical billing is backed up, this further delays offering your high-quality services to another (or more) patient(s), signaling a snowball effect of runaway medical billing issues.

Get Help for Your Prior Authorization & Verification Needs

Get Help for Your Prior Authorization & Verification Needs

What's the biggest challenge facing your medical practice? The majority of practice managers and owners will tell you that it's the process of pre certifications and verifications with insurance companies. This process can be time-consuming, slowing down the progress within your office and forcing you to focus on paperwork instead of patients. Unfortunately, ignoring this process isn't an option, either. It can leave your office without the necessary cash flow that you need in order to become a thriving, busy practice.

Medical billing is a huge undertaking for most medical practices. It requires an incredible amount of data entry, follow up, and paperwork in order to get the right pre-certifications, prior authorizations, and insurance verifications that you need. Some medical practices think that this is just part of the business of running a medical practice. While it's true that this sort of insurance paperwork is a necessity, it doesn't necessarily have to be done in your office. In fact, doing it yourself could be negatively impacting your practice.
