Webinar: Navigating Prior Authorization of Molecular and Genetic Tests
Navigating Prior Authorization of Molecular and Genetic Tests: What You Need to Know About the Changing Landscape and the Impact to How Labs Must Submit Claims to Enable Reimbursements
Probably the most significant trend in how private payers reimburse laboratories is the implementation of prior-authorization programs for molecular and genetic tests. During the past year, two of the nation’s largest health insurers—Anthem and UnitedHealthcare—initiated prior-authorization programs.
This webinar will provide essential insights into the major issues that prevent labs from submitting claims and getting them paid. We will share some of the effective techniques which are helping client laboratories submit more clean claims that are reimbursed at first submission. This webinar is a great opportunity to learn how your lab can get paid for a larger proportion of the test claims it submits to private payers, as well as Medicare; while at the same time reducing operating costs, as we believe prior authorization requirements will continue in the year ahead.
