Prior authorization is an essential element of the revenue cycle, offering a significant level of protection for both the provider and the patient. Except under emergency/critical care, healthcare providers must be aware of the payer's guidelines on the facility where the service is provided, the cost of treatment, the selection of medication, or the coverage status of complicated/expensive procedures. Lack of coverage can lead to heavy financial liabilities for the patient and revenue loss for the provider if prior authorization is not obtained.
A healthcare provider strives to deliver the best care to all patients who walk into their offices. A significant element of their responsibility is to choose a standard of treatment aligned with the guidelines issued by the respective payer and educate the patient on optimal choices for the desired outcomes. Providers are obligated to seek prior authorization from the payer on any anticipated diagnostics, medication, or procedures to ensure coverage and availability for the patient. A physician may propose or choose suitable alternatives within the limitations of coverage for acceptable results. By providing this clarity, the provider can enhance patient satisfaction and assure financial protection per the payer's policy.
