Reduce prior authorization denials and get ahead of CMS regulations

According to the latest SSI data, prior authorization (PA) denials have increased 50.3% since 2022. Furthermore, of all 2022 CAQH Index-tracked administrative functions, PA is the most time-consuming transaction for providers.

With upcoming CMS regulations requiring an electronic solution by 2026 for incentive payments, now is the time to get ahead by implementing the right automated prior authorization solution.

SSI Prior Authorization can put you on the right path, reducing denials and ending the time-consuming detective work necessary by automating the process from end to end. It can also help reduce the time required to complete existing PA workflows by 90%!

How It Works

STEP 1: Determines if PA is required and sources appropriate submission form

SSI Prior Authorization powered by Myndshft includes a proprietary Payer Rules Engine and Policy Library that identifies PA requirements based on the payer, plan, and CPT or HCPCS codes provided.

  • Connects in real-time to 700 payers covering 94% of covered US patients
  • Synchronizes eligibility and PA rules for continuously up-to-date information
  • Uses patients’ payer, plan, service type, place of service, diagnosis and clinical data to improve the accuracy of PA determinations
STEP 2: Pre-screens PA submissions for errors and medical necessity
SSI Prior Authorization selects the appropriate payer submission form and pipes in relevant data including clinical encounter details directly from your system of record using industry-standard HL7 FHIR APIs.

  • Automatically checks the request for errors and missing information
  • Supports PDF uploads of signed physician orders, medical history, and other documentation
  • Eliminates double entry, reducing the likelihood of human error and preventable denials
STEP 3: Submits PA request directly to the payer
After providing the required data, SSI Prior Authorization submits the request with attachments to the payer.

  • Uses each payer’s preferred submission method, i.e., fax, payer portal, or EDI 278 transaction
  • Generates a time-stamped submission ID for easy status tracking
STEP 4: Monitors PA request statuses
All submitted PA requests can be monitored in one convenient location, with PA approvals returned directly to your system of record.
