Is the specialist dedicated to us or shared?
Each specialist is dedicated to your account for up to 40 hours per week and is not shared across unrelated clients. They work your PA queue inside your systems. Part-time schedules are available.
Do specialists make clinical decisions?
No. Clinical decisions, medical necessity determinations, and clinical documentation remain with your licensed providers. PA specialists handle the administrative submission, follow-up, and tracking workflow.
Do they work in our payer portals and PM system?
Yes. Specialists submit and track authorizations through your payer portals, fax, or phone, and document approvals in your PM or EHR system. No software changes are required.
How do you handle HIPAA and clinical records?
Every engagement includes a signed Business Associate Agreement and structured HIPAA onboarding before any access to clinical records or payer authorization systems begins. Specialists work only through your approved systems.
Do they track renewals and expiring authorizations?
Yes. Specialists monitor expiring authorizations and help initiate renewals based on your scheduling cycle and payer requirements, so care is not delayed by lapsed approvals.
