How the work moves through the queue
Step 1
Requirement and packet review
Establish the applicable requirement and resolve missing information before submission.
Step 2
Submission and acknowledgment
Record the submitted packet, payer channel, acknowledgment, and follow-up date.
Step 3
Decision and renewal handoff
Return the decision, approved scope, expiration, and any customer action to scheduling.
Staffing and review responsibilities
Authorization operations staff review submission readiness and administrative responses. Clinicians review clinical rationale, attestations, peer-to-peer discussions, and clinical appeal content.
Turnaround, exceptions, and escalation
Urgent requests, missing clinical evidence, additional-information requests, partial approvals, and adverse decisions follow the agreed escalation process. Payer decision time and approval are not guaranteed by submission.
During assessment, agree operating hours, readiness criteria, response expectations, escalation contacts, and reporting cadence in the service agreement.
Reporting your team receives
- Requests by readiness and payer status
- Pending customer documents and payer requests
- Submission and follow-up evidence
- Decision scope, expiration, and renewal queue
Onboarding and access
Define payer access, specialty packet requirements, scheduling handoff, urgent-request criteria, and escalation contacts. Start with a sample work queue and agree the response responsibilities.
Pricing and scope
Request a quote based on request volume, specialty, payer mix, clinical packet complexity, renewals, and follow-up scope. Appeals and peer-to-peer coordination should be specified in the agreement.
Evaluate the delivery process
Request a walkthrough of a representative work queue, its review steps, the customer handoff, and a sample report. Ask which systems and payer channels apply to your organization, who reviews exceptions, and how outcomes will be reconciled.
Your assessment establishes the service scope and evidence needed for your practice. Performance targets and commitments belong in the agreed service plan.
