In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA CEO Bill Prentice talks with ASCA Board Member Raghu Reddy about strategies and tactics for successfully managing many of the prior authorization requirements placed on ASCs and their patients today. 

Reddy is the chief administrative officer of MiOrtho Surgery Center in Southfield, Michigan, and in addition to his service on the ASCA Board, he also serves on ASCA’s Education and Programs and Quality Committees. 

At ASCA’s annual conference this past May, Reddy gave an intensive, hour-long presentation on how to effectively manage prior authorization requirements. In this informative episode, he distills his comprehensive presentation down to 20 minutes, covering patient intake, interoffice coordination, risk assessments, methods for remedying denials and the internal tracking that he believes is essential to overcoming these challenges.
