Authorization & Referral Management

One of the most prominent causes of revenue loss is the failure to get a referral or authorization before performing any procedure. Medical billing reimbursement rates have shown that the most common denial is not receiving a referral or approval before performing the procedure.

Referrals and pre-authorizations are not required for all services or procedures, but if they are needed and are not acquired, reimbursement may be at risk.

Medical providers and billing companies must get certification numbers when reimbursement is required.

Authorization is the process by which the insurance carrier authorizes a medical service. These numbers must be used by providers/billing companies on claims submitted for payment, resulting in authorization and referral numbers.

In the Medical Billing Cycle, WiseMed Solutions considers and manages Authorization and Referral as a particular project because of its time and cost.
