Summary
 In this episode of Medical Practice Manager Ops Explained, Finch breaks down proven workflows for tackling prior authorization requests that commonly lead to denials and delayed payments. Listeners discover how shifting review processes earlier—by matching patient charts to the latest payer guidelines before submission—prevents most resubmissions and frees staff time. The discussion covers pulling exact policy requirements, copying targeted chart notes with dates and trial details, and logging every denial reason in a shared spreadsheet to spot patterns like missing conservative care proof. Additional tactics include refreshing top payer links weekly, scheduling peer-to-peer calls in dedicated blocks, tracking appeal timelines for expedited handling, and reviewing denial letters line by line for quick corrections such as diagnosis pointers. These steps reduce open claims on aging reports without adding staff hours.

Key takeaways:
- Assign upfront chart reviews against current payer rules to align codes and services.
- Maintain a denial log by payer and code to refine intake forms and training.
- Use policy checks and precise documentation to minimize vague submissions and follow-ups.
