Points of Light 2023 Case Study 25
Streamlining Prior Authorizations for Cardiovascular Patients via a Utilization Management Portal
Diagnosing patients that present with cardiovascular symptoms can be a lengthy process, involving multiple providers and progressive testing that may end up being duplicative or unnecessary. This process is costly and delays patient access to treatment. To address these issues, the collaborators in this case study adopted a utilization management portal that helps providers identify the correct evidence-based care paths and streamlines the prior authorization process for cardiovascular testing and treatments. Achieved outcomes include fewer denials, fewer peer-to-peer reviews, and decreased turnaround times for authorization decisions.
