Introduction
Prior authorization has emerged as a major obstacle to providing timely and effective healthcare. Patients must wait to get the necessary treatment, providers are overwhelmed with paperwork, and health outcomes are subpar, all because of a process that is supposed to limit expenditures. According to a 2023 American Medical Association (AMA) survey, 94% of physicians reported that prior authorization led to care delays, and 33% said it has caused a serious adverse event for a patient in their care, such as hospitalization or disability. These reasons are not only operationally imperative to solve the prior authorization inefficiencies, but it is also a moral imperative to have a better-functioning healthcare system, which are now solved by adopting prior authorization services from the experts
