OUR SOFTWARE + OUR SPECIALISTS = COMPLETE COVERAGE

We Take Care Of Each Prior Authorization Request For You

While AI and payer automations are making significant strides in optimizing revenue cycle management workflows, there is still a need for experienced team members to manually handle cases that automation cannot handle on its own or if the provider’s staffing challenges are causing backlog in critical revenue cycle tasks.

We offer a hybrid approach which is particularly beneficial for enterprise healthcare providers, like hospital systems or large outpatient groups, who:

  • are not looking to completely outsource their prior authorization activities and want their teams to continue working on their cases while utilizing our proprietary technology, as well as
  • desire the flexibility to easily assign a subset of their case inventory to Infinx’s specialists to work on if the need arises.

Clients rely on Infinx on as a trusted partner to manage the entire patient access workflow due to our effective and reliable team members who support them.

REFERRING PROVIDER REQUESTS SUPPORTED

We Help Your Referring Physicians Obtain Authorization Approvals

For some procedures, payers and benefit managers do not accept prior authorizations initiated by rendering providers. If the referring physician does not have capability in place to quickly process authorization requests, this can impact your ability to schedule services efficiently.

Referring physicians become approved users of your subscription

We help remove this bottleneck by making it easy for referring physicians to become approved users on your Patient Access Plus subscription so they can leverage our solution and expertise to quickly obtain prior authorization approvals during the referral process.

Easy sign up process

  • Referring provider signs our digital Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on a custom provider enrollment web page created just for your organization,
  • Referring providers completes the Provider Enrollment form on the web page,
  • Then they can easily submit prior authorizations requests to process.

Schedule more services and reduce denials downstream

By making it easier for physicians to send patients with authorizations already approved, your staff will be able to schedule more services, and claims downstream will have a lesser likelihood of getting denied due to any prior authorization issue.

Surgery Scheduling Delays Resolved By Automating Prior Authorizations For Michigan Orthopedic Clinic

While receiving a high volume of referrals for their surgical offerings, an orthopedic surgery clinic was experiencing lagging surgical and imaging prior authorizations due to a staffing shortage. They were seeing long turnaround times and had to reschedule surgeries due to a lack of timely authorizations. Reimbursements also slowed down due to the lagging surgery schedule, which was causing cash flow challenges. Learn how our automated prior authorization solution was able to get their schedule and revenue collections back on track.

Growing Physical Therapy Group Resolves Eligibility and Prior Authorization Bottlenecks Using Automation

They were experiencing high denial rates due to prior authorization errors and had to find a cost-effective way to centralize these in the near future.
