Prior Authorization

Prior authorization,
built for speed.

Prior authorization support — auth initiation, payer follow-up, clinical documentation, denial prevention and reporting — with specialists who know payer rules.

Faster approvals Auths initiated same-day where possible
Clinical documentation Clear packets — fewer clinical denials
HIPAA-aligned PHI handling, access and audit controls
Overview

What prior authorization support covers

Approvals that keep care and cash flow moving
Auths initiated, followed up and documented — end to end

Prior authorization delays are costly on both sides. Procedures get postponed, patients get frustrated, referrals leak and claims get denied for "no auth on file." Most practices lose visibility once the auth leaves the front desk — nobody follows up systematically until it becomes urgent.

Opervics runs prior authorization support as a managed function — auth initiation, payer follow-up, clinical documentation support, denial prevention and reporting — with specialists who know payer rules and turnaround expectations.

We work inside your systems — Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, eCW, NextGen, Availity, payer portals and clearinghouses — with role-based access and rules set by you.
What's Included

Inside our prior authorization engagement

Auth initiation

Auth requests submitted through payer portals and phone channels.

Payer follow-up

Active follow-up on pending auths — no request sits idle.

Clinical documentation support

Packets assembled with required clinical info to support approval.

Peer-to-peer coordination

Peer-to-peer reviews scheduled between clinician and payer.

Denial prevention

Auth denials reviewed; recurring causes fixed upstream.

Weekly reports

Auth volume, approval rate, turnaround time and payer trends.

Problems We Solve

The prior auth problems we run into most

Common Challenges

What practices run into before they switch.

These are the same operational issues we see across clients — and the same ones our process is designed to remove.

01

Auths not followed up

Requests sit in payer portals for days with no visibility.

02

Procedures delayed or rescheduled

Patients and clinicians wait on approvals that should have been faster.

03

Clinical denials

Insufficient documentation leads to payer denials — rework and delays.

04

No visibility into pending auths

Nobody knows what's outstanding across payers and service lines.

05

Staff overload

Front desk and clinical staff pulled into chasing auths.

06

No reporting

Nobody tracks approval rate, turnaround time or payer patterns.

Security & Compliance

Guarded by design — not bolted on.

Every service inherits the same baseline security posture, then adds service-specific controls on top.

HIPAA-aligned controls

Access, change management, monitoring and incident response aligned to HIPAA.

PHI handling rules

PHI access, redaction and audit logging defined with your compliance team.

Least-privilege access

Role-based access to EHRs, payer portals and clinical systems — scoped and audited.

Reporting & audit

Auth volume, approval rate, turnaround time and payer trends reported weekly.
