Your coordinators are drowning in prior auth portal hell
Manual prior authorization causes delays, denials, and lost revenue. Coordinators spend hours in payer portals submitting PA requests, tracking approval status, and resubmitting denials. 30% of PAs get denied on first submission due to missing information.
