How New York Clinics Are Taking Control of Prior Authorizations?

Prior authorizations (PAs) are a critical administrative step to ensure cost-effective care and prevent unnecessary procedures. Yet, for many healthcare providers in New York, managing the PA process remains a bottleneck that drains time, resources, and patient satisfaction.

As the complexity of insurance requirements grows, providers need a reliable partner to handle PA requests accurately and quickly this is where Staffingly steps in.

The Challenges of Prior Authorization in New York

New York-based healthcare providers face unique challenges:

• Diverse Insurance Landscape: Medicaid Managed Care, Medicare Advantage, and a mix of commercial payers, each with unique PA requirements.

• Administrative Overload: Staff are overwhelmed by repetitive paperwork, chasing down documentation, and insurer follow-ups.

• Delayed Patient Care: Long PA approval times often lead to deferred treatments, dissatisfied patients, and loss of trust.

• High Denial Rates: Minor clerical errors or missing data can lead to denials that are costly to reprocess.

Case Study:

Reducing Denials and Improving Turnaround Times

A mid-sized outpatient care provider in New York was consistently facing high denial rates (22%) and slow turnaround times for prior authorizations, often taking 5–7 business days. Their in-house staff was overwhelmed, leading to missed documentation and delays in treatment scheduling.

Problems Identified:

• Lack of standardized PA workflows across specialties

• No real-time tracking or escalation for pending approvals

• Communication gaps between clinical teams and the administrative PA desk

How Staffingly Helped:

1. Dedicated PA Team: Staffingly deployed trained virtual medical assistants who specialized in New York insurer workflows.

2. Process Standardization: Developed customized SOPs for each payer and integrated them with the provider’s EMR.

3. Real-Time Coordination: Staffingly’s team maintained constant communication with provider staff and insurers to handle escalations.

4. Automation + Human Oversight: Leveraged tools to pre-fill forms and validate codes before submission, reducing human error.

Results:

• PA turnaround time reduced to 1–2 business days

• Denial rate dropped to below 5%

• In-house staff freed up to focus on patient care

• Patient treatment scheduling improved by 30%
