Next time you see someone railing against prior authorization, give them 2.75 BILLION reasons why we need a functional process. Yes, legitimate claims should be approved. Yes, doctors' and patients' voices matter. Yes, prior authorization done wrong causes delays in care. Yes, some doctors and patients also commit fraud. Yes, we pay for the fraud across the economy. Yes, prior authorization done right helps to mitigate fraud, overuse, and waste. We need a functional prior authorization system, one that harnesses the depth and detail of data available along with strong analytics to make sure that patients get the care they need without paying providers who do not provide care, or overbill for care. Eliminating prior authorization is a foolish policy that will lead to huge increases in fraud, overuse, and waste. https://lnkd.in/eBsyUm2r

The federal government offers a reward of up to 30% for whistleblowers who provide information leading to a successful healthcare fraud settlement or judgment. Healthcare fraud can take many forms, including billing for services not rendered, upcoding, double billing, kickbacks, and unnecessary procedures or genetic tests to mine for patient data. To identify healthcare fraud, individuals can look for red flags such as duplicate billing, services not ordered by a physician, or excessive billing for a single patient. Reporting suspected fraud can help protect patients, save taxpayer dollars, and hold fraudulent providers accountable. #HealthcareFraud #WhistleblowerAttorney #ReportFraud

And so it goes… When so much data is processed by so few without proper safeguards, this will continue to happen. It will also make just about every person and business who uses these very few and large entities vulnerable to financial disaster on one level or another.
