Pre-Authorization / Pre-Certification Services

Have you come across situations where some of your claims have been denied by payers for lack of pre-authorization? If yes, you can greatly benefit by Vision’s Pre-authorization services.

As you must be aware, a number of payers need prior approval or pre-certification of certain procedure or services before they are provided to a patient. In case these services are provided without seeking their prior approval, they will deny the claim and it will result in Financial loss to the Provider. Therefore, the front office staff of a practice has to be alert and knowledgeable about the procedures requiring precertification so that they schedule a patient visit only after the requisite prior approval is in place

Which procedures need pre-certification varies from payer to payer as well patient’s plan. With the everchanging Payer policies, managing pre-certifications becomes a very daunting task for the front office taking their focus away from the most important task of patient care.
