Challenge

The operational challenge

The practice was managing prior authorizations and utilization monitoring internally with an onshore team.

The process required significant staff time to track authorization status, monitor approved service limits, follow up on pending requests, and prevent services from exceeding payer-authorized levels.

Gaps in this process led to delays in care, missed or expired authorizations, and reimbursement risk for services already provided.

CF Solution

A purpose-built operating model

CF implemented a fully managed prior authorization and utilization management operation.

  • Managed prior authorization submissions and follow-up
  • Monitored approved visits and service limits
  • Tracked pending, approved, and expiring authorizations
  • Flagged utilization before authorized levels were exceeded
  • Provided real-time status visibility through a centralized client portal
  • Coordinated authorization activity to help prevent interruptions in patient care

By combining dedicated healthcare operations support with real-time visibility, CF helped the practice manage utilization more proactively and keep services aligned with payer authorization requirements.
