AuthNet Launches New Prior Authorization and Eligibility Verification Services For Healthcare Practices, Hospitals and Ancillary Service Providers

    WILMINGTON, DE, March 15, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On the heels of the American Medical Association's January survey findings of more than 1000 physicians reporting that they and their staff spend 20 or more hours each week managing an average of almost 40 prior authorization requests, AuthNet, LLC announced the launch of its new outsourced prior authorization and eligibility verification services.

According to the findings, the time burden is so great that about one-third of physicians report having staff members who work exclusively on prior-authorization duties, and ninety percent agreed that the PA process delays patient access to necessary care.

AuthNet aims to lighten that load, working with physicians, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, labs and other medical facilities to deliver faster, easier authorizations and insurance verification. With over 100 years of combined healthcare and medical billing experience, the company is committed to improving the overall care continuum and experience for both practitioners and patients. It's a focus the AuthNet managing team says is desperately needed in a healthcare environment burdened by constant upheaval and new administrative requirements.

The program offers both eligibility verification and prior authorization, or precertification, services. Both standard and "stat", or critical response, requests are available, as well as data entry services for both patient demographics and clinical coding, resulting in a number of benefits, including: reduced patient wait times for necessary care, cost-savings and reallocation of valuable staff time, and improved payment cycles and overall reimbursements.
