Webinar: Striking a Balance – Digital Prior Authorization for Oncology

Available On-Demand

Prior Authorization: Two often frustrating words for your members and providers. Despite a groundswell of negative press around delays caused by the prior authorization process, it provides checks and balances and ensures that first and foremost, patients get the best possible treatment and that health plans have insight into expensive and sometimes high-risk treatment plans.
 

Technology has improved the “delay problem” by accelerating turnaround times on prior authorization to minutes for many cases and a few hours for even complex cases. When it comes to prior authorization for cancer treatment, having experienced oncologists with knowledge of the latest approvals, guidelines, and clinical studies conduct the reviews streamlines the process even further. They can quickly make evidence-based decisions to ensure patients get the best treatment the first time, reducing the hassle and stress of delay-inducing appeals.

Curious how this approach is applied by other health insurance providers? Join us on October 25, 2021, at 2 PM EST as executives from GEHA and OncoHealth discuss the power of digital prior authorization and how it addresses the issues of:

  • Managing the rising cost of cancer care.
  • Accelerating decisions to eliminate delays in care.
  • Maintaining compliance in an increasingly regulated healthcare environment.
  • Navigating oncology treatment reviews that satisfy all stakeholders – patients, providers, and health plans.
  • Ensuring provider satisfaction through careful execution and a collaborative, expert-driven process.
