Lessons from the Field: Addressing Prior Authorization Challenges in Rural Healthcare

Rural providers face tougher prior authorization (PA) challenges due to fewer specialists, limited staff, and slower manual processes, leading to delayed patient care.
Small clinics struggle with admin work, as staff often juggle paperwork and patient care, unlike larger hospitals with dedicated teams.
Technology gaps slow things down, with some rural providers still using faxes and phones due to poor internet access.
Insurers often deny rural requests, especially for uncommon treatments, causing delays or high out-of-pocket costs for patients.
Automating PA, training staff, and improving insurer communication can reduce denials and speed up approvals.
Partnering with experts like Practolytics streamlines the process, reduces rejections, saves time, and helps rural providers focus on patient care.
