Back-office employee

An employee that submits the prior auth and chases it to approval

It assembles the documentation, submits the prior authorization to the payer, then follows up by portal and phone until it's approved - or hands the appeal to staff with everything attached, so procedures don't stall waiting on an auth.

The process

How it works

Step 1

Assembles the documentation

Pulls the order and the supporting clinical documents the payer requires, and checks the request is complete before anything is sent.

Step 2

Submits to the payer

Files the prior authorization in the payer portal, attaches the documentation, and logs the reference number back to the chart.

Step 3

Chases to a decision

Follows up by portal and phone until it's approved, identifies exactly what's missing when it stalls, and hands appeals to staff with the full file.

Watch it work

From order to submitted, end to end

It reads the order, gathers the clinical documentation the payer requires, submits the prior authorization in the portal, and logs the reference number - then takes over the status chase.

Questions

Frequently asked

No. It assembles the documentation the ordering provider and payer require, submits it, and chases the status - but the clinical justification and any appeal argument stay with your staff. It handles the logistics, not the medicine.

This is the part teams hate most: it follows up by portal and phone, and when an auth stalls it pins down exactly what the payer is missing - a document, a code, a note - so it can be fixed fast instead of sitting for days.

It captures the denial reason, attaches the full submission history, and hands it to staff to decide on an appeal - with everything assembled, so the appeal starts from a complete file rather than a cold start.

Your clearinghouse and EHR - Availity, Change Healthcare, Epic, athenahealth - and the payer portals you already use. It works the way an auth specialist would, scoped to your compliance requirements.
