Prior Authorization

Utilization Management (UM) helps to control healthcare costs. The Prior Authorization (PA) Department reviews physician and pharmacy requests for outpatient and elective inpatient services. From the Coordinator to the Nurse to the Medical Director, timeliness matters and each line of business (LOB) has a specified decision deadline. If PA department staff members are not properly trained, fail to keep up to date on State and Federal policy changes will translate to the PA process becoming costly due to member treatment delays with member harm as the outcome. Poor staff training and limited knowledge further translates to Corrective Action Plans (CAPS), increased member grievances which means more open CAPs for repeat deficiencies further increasing the likelihood of a Closed Panel. The MSO/IPA could also end up paying for services they are not at risk for.   

Delegation Oversight

Delegation Oversight Auditing plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity and quality of healthcare services. This ensures that all partner organizations strictly comply with the necessary regulations and contractual agreements. Through the execution of comprehensive audits and meticulous evaluations, the auditor verifies that every operation aligns with your health organization's commitment to excellence in quality and efficiency..
