AHIP Launches Pilot to Field-Test Automated Prior Authorization
Health insurer trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) is partnering with six insurers to test systems and technology designed to automate parts of the prior authorization process in a bid to develop best practices.
The initiative, which AHIP calls the Fast Prior Authorization Technology Highway, or Fast PATH, will run for six months, during which AHIP and its partners will collect data to be used for an evaluation of the processes and technology used. The trade group will attempt to determine how much money and time an automated system saves providers and insurers.
