WHY ATTEND: Attendees will learn how to increase the efficiency of staff currently tasked with managing pre-certification requests. Healthcare organizations are increasingly taking on the responsibility of obtaining prior authorization from payers on behalf of physicians. While this provides more control over assuring authorizations are in place before services are performed, it creates a mountain of work for administrative personnel.
In the enlightening webinar “AuthInitiate: Recondo's Latest Authorization Break-Through,” attendees will see up close how Recondo Technology’s patented ReconBots™ automate much of this work instead. Additionally, attendees will learn how Recondo automates almost the entire authorization process, including retrieving authorization status—approved or denied with reason for denial—and then routes the answers to hospital’s employees and systems of choice.
Attendees will also hear directly from the Mercy health system on the results it’s currently seeing with Recondo’s AuthInitiate.
After viewing the webinar, attendees will have a fundamental understanding of the following:
- · How automation aids revenue cycle personnel in processing an exponentially larger volume of prior authorization requests than they are currently able to manually through websites and phone calls
- · How automating the authorization process reduces risk of denial and increases account yield
- · Which core authorization functions to automate to create a near “touchless” transaction
With the goal of infusing the pre-service revenue cycle with newfound efficiency, Recondo launched AuthInitiate™ in early 2017 as the newest module of its industry-leading Authorization-Denial Prevention (Auth-DP) suite of solutions. The solution was developed with close input from health systems such as Mercy (MO), St. Francis Hospital, Baylor Scott & White Health and others.
Clients’ interest in co-developing AuthInitiate stems from the tremendous amount of expensive manual work involved in obtaining authorizations. For large multi-facility IDNs, that can require significant numbers of employees or writing sizeable outsourcing checks.
