Prior Authorization Services That Prevent Denials Before Treatment Begins
Prior authorization errors are a leading cause of delayed care, denied claims, and avoidable revenue loss. EBILLIENT manages the complete prior authorization process with payer specific accuracy, ensuring approvals are obtained correctly, remain valid, and align with billing so authorized services result in paid claims.
Why Prior Authorization Matters
- Missing or incorrect authorizations lead to preventable claim denials
- Expired approvals often result in unpaid or partially paid claims
- Payer authorization rules vary by plan, service, and provider
- Poor authorization tracking increases accounts receivable and delays reimbursement

Why Prior Authorization Fails and Causes Denials
Prior authorization failures usually happen before a claim is ever submitted. These breakdowns lead directly to denials, unpaid services, and inflated AR.
Why are services denied despite being authorized?
Approvals may be incomplete, expired, or mismatched to procedures, causing payers to deny claims post-service.
Why is documentation rejected by payers?
Missing clinical notes or incorrect forms lead to authorization requests being delayed or denied.
Why do authorizations expire before billing?
Poor tracking causes authorizations to lapse, resulting in non-payable claims.
Why do authorization errors inflate AR?
Denials tied to authorization increase Accounts Receivable and delay collections.
Why are payer rules misunderstood?
Authorization rules vary by payer, plan, and service. Generic workflows fail to meet payer-specific requirements.
Why do authorization issues upset patients?
Denied or delayed authorizations lead to postponed care and unexpected patient bills.
If authorization errors are driving denials or delayed care, a proactive review can stop the issue before services begin.
