Prior Authorizations serve as a cost containment strategy that third-party payers leverage to control costs, restrict patient access to services, testing, and medications, and ultimately discourage medical providers from ordering unnecessary medical treatment. Prior authorizations are a major source of headaches for healthcare providers across the country.
Despite the intention to control costs and ensure appropriate care, the prior authorization process has been criticized for its enormous administrative burden, potential delays in necessary medical treatment, and added complexity for healthcare providers. Striking a balance between cost control and efficient patient care remains a major challenge in the healthcare industry.
