Availity is Already Automating Prior Auths

Russ Thomas, CEO at Availity, shares that 80% of the prior authorization requests made through the company’s Intelligent Utilization Management solution are “touchless,” meaning that responses are returned without the need for manual processing by staff at either the provider or the payer. Their AI-assisted processing does end-to-end authorization reviews in under 90 seconds, most in less than 20 seconds, so that the patient can learn the answer while still at the clinician's check-out desk.  This is Availity putting into action now what payers recently announced wanting to do by 2027.He calls Availity "the largest network in healthcare," direct connected to 95% of health plans and aiding 3-1/2 million providers.Learn more about Availity: https://www.availity.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
