Are you experiencing an increase in calls from payers giving you two to three hours to send clinical documentation required to obtain an authorization, or else your claim will be denied? 

Are you being told you cannot have a peer-to-peer session because your request was considered late? 

Are you hearing that you must have everything — “pre-denial” or “pre-auth” — done within 72 hours of notification, only they typically wait until they only have three hours left? 

During this edition of Monitor Mondays, listen and learn what Val Kraus and his team at one major Midwest health system are doing to reduce the impact of these scenarios.
