Appeals at an All Time Low at Care to Care

 

New York, NY (PRWEB) OCTOBER 20, 2017

Care to Care’s appeal rate of 2% is among the lowest, if not the lowest in the benefit management industry, and has been for over ten years

Care to Care, LLC is dedicated to improving care quality while reducing waste and offers referring physicians an opportunity to discuss possible adverse determinations with physicians board certified in fields appropriate to each request. In these discussions the Care to Care physician can explain why an adverse determination was anticipated, provide suggestions for more appropriate alternatives, or approve the request by gaining additional clinical information from the referrer. This process results in a very low rate of appeals, saving both the referrer and insurer time and money, while providing the patient (and referring doctor) with enhanced diagnostic efficiency.

The need to appeal contested denials makes the process of prior authorization inexcusably more arduous for the referring physicians. We have designed all of our systems to minimize the initial burden and nearly eliminate the need for appeals. Our data demonstrates that our process is successful in minimizing unnecessary appeals.
