Why Offshore Prior Authorization Services Save Money?

Cutting through the maze of prior authorizations can drain healthcare resources and slow down patient care but what if you could slash costs and speed approvals without sacrificing quality? Offshore prior authorization services are transforming how healthcare providers tackle this challenge, delivering smarter, faster, and more affordable solutions. Dive into how these services save money, backed by a real success story, and discover why Staffingly stands out as the go-to partner for healthcare teams ready to optimize their PA process.

What Are Prior Authorization Services?

Prior authorization is the process by which healthcare providers obtain approval from insurance companies before certain medications, procedures, or services are delivered to patients. While essential, PA often involves complex paperwork, time-consuming phone calls, and follow-ups, leading to administrative burdens and increased costs.

Why Offshore Prior Authorization Services Save Money?

1. Lower Labor Costs
   Offshoring PA services allows healthcare providers to leverage skilled administrative professionals in countries with lower wage standards, substantially reducing labor expenses compared to hiring domestic staff.

2. Scalable Workforce
   Offshore centers can quickly scale operations based on demand fluctuations, preventing the cost inefficiencies associated with overstaffing or understaffing.

3. Improved Efficiency
   With dedicated teams specializing in PA, offshore providers use streamlined workflows and technology-driven solutions to expedite approvals, minimizing delays and reducing costly denials.

4. Focus on Core Activities
   By outsourcing PA, healthcare providers free up internal resources to concentrate on patient care and strategic growth, which indirectly lowers overall operational costs.

   Cost/Performance Area	Typical In-House PA	Offshore PA Support	Savings/Impact
   Labor cost per PA request	$10.97 (manual transaction)	$5.79 (electronic workflow)	Up to 47% lower admin cost
   Time spent on PA work (per physician/week)	13 hours	4-8 hours (delegated support)	5-9 hours returned to care
   PA volume handled (per physician/week)	39 requests	39+ with scalable staffing	Better throughput & continuity
   Approval velocity (based on case results)	3-7 business days (typical)	40% faster (example outcome)	Fewer delays & reschedules
   Denials tied to PA documentation	Higher risk (manual follow-ups)	Better tracking + documentation	15% fewer denials (case outcome)
