Where Accuracy Meets
Efficiency

A Pre-Authorization process in Medical Billing requires approval of services from a patient's insurance panel by healthcare providers, to check whether the insurance company will cover the cost of required service or not. Before providing treatment to patients, it is necessary. This process helps faster claims processing and increase operational efficiency. The purpose of Pre-Authorization is to prevent unnecessary cost by confirming that the required treatment is covered by the insurance panel. At MedSole RCM you will be having a team of experts for every step of the Medical Billing process.
