The ROI of Streamlining Prior Authorization with MedCore blog thumbnail

Today’s healthcare system moves quickly—but time and resources are often limited. From mounting administrative tasks to evolving payer requirements, one process continues to bog down providers, frustrate patients, and drain valuable resources: prior authorization (PA). It’s a necessary step for many treatments and prescriptions, but when the process is slow or inefficient, the consequences can be serious. Delayed care, denied coverage, wasted staff time, and lost revenue are just a few of the ripple effects—which is why streamlining prior authorization is essential for both patient outcomes and operational success.

 

That’s where MedCore Solutions comes in. By optimizing your PA workflow with expert support, we help your practice reclaim time, improve cash flow, and deliver better care—without the bottlenecks. 

 

Let’s explore how streamlining prior authorization translates to real ROI for your healthcare practice. 

 

The Real Cost of Delays—and How Streamlining Prior Authorization Can Help

Prior authorization isn’t just a paperwork problem—it’s a financial drain. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), physicians and their staff spend an average of 13 hours per week on prior authorizations. That’s nearly two full workdays lost every single week. 

And the toll doesn’t stop there: 

  • 86% of physicians say prior authorization requirements actually increase healthcare resource use—leading to more waste, not savings. 
  • 34% of providers say prior auth has led to serious adverse events for patients. 
  • Practices lose thousands annually due to staff time, claim denials, and delayed reimbursements. 

 

Now imagine redirecting those hours—and those dollars—into actual patient care, growth initiatives, or improved billing processes. That’s the opportunity MedCore Solutions provides. 

 

Streamlining Prior Authorization: How MedCore Solutions Optimizes Your Workflow

MedCore offers a streamlined, human-powered solution that combines expert staffing with proven workflows. We don’t just handle your prior auths—we optimize them. 

 

Here’s what makes our model stand out: 

  • Trained RCM Specialists: Our prior authorization experts are well-versed in payer rules, medical necessity documentation, and denial trends. 
  • Real-Time Turnarounds: By focusing solely on authorization tasks, our team processes requests faster than in-house generalists juggling multiple duties. 
  • End-to-End Visibility: We track every PA request from submission to decision—ensuring no authorizations fall through the cracks. 
  • Denial Reduction: We pre-check documentation and correct issues before submission, reducing the need for costly appeals. 
  • Flexible Staffing Model: Whether you need full-time help or support during high-volume periods, our solutions scale with your needs. 

 

This isn’t just about staffing—it’s about upgrading your practice’s capabilities without the overhead. 

 

The Financial ROI: More Approvals, Faster Reimbursement

The financial benefits of streamlining prior authorization go far beyond saved time. When MedCore handles your authorizations, your billing cycle shortens and your collections improve.

Here’s how you save:

  • Faster approvals = Faster payments: A clean, complete PA submitted quickly means claims are processed sooner—and cash hits your account faster.

  • Fewer denials = Lower costs: Denials cost practices an average of $118 per appeal. Reducing rejections saves thousands each year.

  • Smarter staffing = Better margins: Instead of using high-cost clinical staff to handle admin work, you can shift those tasks to MedCore’s remote team—at a fraction of the cost.

 

Patient Experience = Practice Reputation

 

Let’s not forget the patient impact. When prior authorizations stall, patients wait—sometimes for weeks—for treatments, tests, or prescriptions. That waiting often results in rescheduled appointments, worsened symptoms, and declining trust in your care.

Streamlining prior authorization does more than just boost your revenue cycle—it improves patient satisfaction and loyalty.

With MedCore’s support:

  • Patients start treatments faster.

  • Staff spend less time fielding frustrated calls.

  • Your practice earns a reputation for smooth, hassle-free care.
