Join industry experts for this timely and informative webinar to gain insights into how the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F) and state-led initiatives are transforming the prior auth landscape.

There are many complexities encountered in processing prior authorization transactions between providers and payers. However, creating a transparent, efficient process is vital for high-quality patient care.

This presentation will take a deep dive into several critical stages of the workflow: verifying patient eligibility, understanding specific benefits, conducting provider lookups, and creating cases in the payer’s utilization management (UM) system. We’ll discuss the unique challenges, as well as the latest strategies and automated solutions for overcoming them.

Key topics will include:

  • The impact of the CMS Prior Auth Final Rule on healthcare providers and payers
  • Insights on how to streamline workflows for reducing administrative burdens, accelerating review times, and enhancing overall patient care
  • An exciting look at how AI and interoperability can lead to cost savings, improved compliance, and better alignment with healthcare providers
