Transforming Prior Authorization White Paper Summary:
Although many physicians and patients would like to see prior authorization disappear entirely from the care planning process (along with other utilization management measures), it’s a necessary tool for curbing unnecessary spending. However, the current approach to prior authorization is broken and needs to change. In this white paper, we discuss how Cohere’s technology around digital prior authorization has the power to create partnerships among patients, physicians, and health plans, and help achieve the promise of value-based care.
