How Staffingly Inc. Helped a U.S. Hospital with Prior Authorization Problems?

In the United States, many hospitals and clinics face serious challenges with prior authorization a process where doctors must get approval from insurance companies before giving certain treatments, tests, or medicines to patients. While this system is meant to control costs and avoid unnecessary care, it often leads to delays, confusion, and extra work for hospital staff. Patients may have to wait days or even weeks for approval, which can delay important care and increase stress. One U.S. hospital was struggling with this exact issue. The staff were overwhelmed with paperwork, patients were unhappy, and doctors couldn’t give treatment on time. That’s when they partnered with Staffingly Inc., a company that provides trained remote healthcare workers. This case study explains how Staffingly identified the problems and helped the hospital improve its prior authorization process, reduce delays, and give better care to patients.

The Problem Faced by the Hospital

A large hospital in the U.S was having serious issues because of prior authorizations:

1. Long Delays in Patient Care

• It was taking 3 to 7 days to get approvals from insurance companies.

• Important tests like MRIs and surgeries were delayed.

• Some patients got worse while waiting.

2. Too Much Paperwork

• Hospital staff had to fill out forms, make phone calls, and follow up many times.

• Nurses and admin staff were tired and overworked.

3. Unhappy Patients

• Patients were angry about the delays and confusion.

• They blamed the hospital, not the insurance companies.

4. Frustrated Doctors

• Doctors could not give the treatment they knew was best.

• They had to wait for insurance approval, wasting valuable time.

The Solution: Staffingly Inc.

To solve these problems, CityCare Hospital partnered with Staffingly Inc., a company that provides remote healthcare professionals trained in prior authorization and insurance work.

Here’s how Staffingly helped:

 1. Staffingly Hired Experienced Remote Workers

• Staffingly found skilled workers from outside the hospital (many worked remotely from other countries).

• These workers were trained in U.S. healthcare and insurance rules.

 2. Remote Team Took Over Prior Authorization Work

• Staffingly’s team handled all the paperwork and phone calls for prior authorization.

• They knew how to speak to insurance companies and speed up the process.

 3. Faster Approval and Better Tracking

• Staffingly set up a system to track each patient’s case and follow up daily.

• Most approvals came within 24 to 48 hours, instead of 3–7 days.

 4. Local Hospital Staff Got Time Back

• Nurses and front-desk workers had more time to care for patients.

• Doctors could focus on treatment, not insurance paperwork.
