Prior Authorizations Done Right: Prevent Denials and Protect Revenue

Prior Authorizations Done Right: Prevent Denials and Protect Revenue

Live Medical Billing Webinar

Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM Pacific Time
Length: 90 minutes
Registration: $169 per attendee
Replay Access: Available for 48 hours after the live webinar

 

Prior authorization errors can delay patient care, create unnecessary staff work, and result in claims that may never be paid. An authorization may be issued for the wrong procedure, provider, location, date range, or number of visits. In other cases, the practice may not discover that authorization was required until after services have already been provided.

 

Our webinar will help medical practices develop a stronger prior authorization workflow—from verifying requirements before scheduling to preventing and resolving authorization-related claim denials.

What You Will Learn

During this webinar, attendees will learn how to:

  • Distinguish between referrals, notifications, precertifications, predeterminations, and prior authorizations

  • Determine whether authorization is required based on the payer, plan, service, diagnosis, provider, and place of service

  • Gather the correct patient, provider, coding, and clinical information before submitting a request

  • Strengthen medical-necessity documentation

  • Track pending requests, reference numbers, follow-up dates, visits, units, and expiration dates

  • Confirm that an approval matches the treatment the provider intends to perform

  • Prevent denials involving incorrect codes, providers, dates, locations, or exhausted units

  • Identify when an authorization must be corrected, amended, extended, or replaced

  • Conduct a pre-billing authorization review

  • Respond when treatment is provided while an authorization request remains pending

  • Investigate, correct, reconsider, appeal, and escalate authorization-related claim denials

  • Create clear accountability between scheduling, authorization, clinical, and billing staff

 

Common Problems We Will Address

  • No authorization or referral on file

  • Exceeded visits or units

  • Missing clinical records

  • Weak medical-necessity documentation

  • Failure to request an extension before treatment continues

  • Failure to update the authorization when the treatment plan changes

One Missed Authorization Can Cost More Than the Registration Fee

When a required authorization is missed or incorrect, the practice may lose reimbursement for the entire service. Staff may then spend additional hours contacting the payer, correcting claims, preparing appeals, and explaining unexpected balances to patients.

The goal is not simply to obtain an authorization number. The goal is to obtain the correct authorization, use it properly, submit a clean claim, and receive payment.
