Pre-Authorization, Pre-Approval & Pre-Certification

Approvals Secured. Delays Prevented.

Prior authorization is one of the most time-consuming administrative burdens in healthcare. Every request carries its own payer rules, documentation requirements, portals and follow-up cadence — and every missed step delays care.

Authorization tracker

In progress
  1. Medical necessity documented

  2. Request submitted to payer

  3. Status tracked & followed up

    Followed up on a defined cadence

  4. Determination received

If denied

Appeal support begins immediately — no waiting for the next review cycle.

Key benefits

What this changes for your practice

We own the authorization from the moment a requirement is identified through to resolution: compiling documentation, submitting, tracking status, chasing follow-ups, and managing denials, appeals and peer-to-peer coordination when a determination goes the wrong way.
  • Care proceeds on schedule

    Active tracking and follow-up keep requests moving instead of sitting unattended in a payer queue.

  • Documentation that holds up

    Medical necessity is documented clearly and consistently, strengthening both the initial request and any appeal.

  • Clinical time returned

    Providers and clinical staff stop spending their day on payer portals and hold music.

How it works

The workflow, step by step

A defined, repeatable process — so you always know where a piece of work is and who has it.
  1. Requirement identification

    We confirm whether authorization is required for the planned service and identify the payer's specific criteria.

  2. Documentation & submission

    The request is compiled with supporting clinical documentation and submitted through the payer's required channel.

  3. Tracking & follow-up

    Status is monitored on a defined cadence, with proactive follow-up rather than waiting for the payer to respond.

  4. Determination, appeal & peer-to-peer

    Approvals are relayed immediately; denials move into review, appeals, resubmission and peer-to-peer coordination.

Why it matters

An authorization that stalls does not just delay reimbursement — it delays care. Consistent ownership of submission, tracking and appeals keeps the schedule intact and prevents services being rendered against an approval that never actually arrived.
