Leading Orthopedic Surgeon Practice Automates Prior Auth with ClinicalBox's PrecisionAuth™ to Improve Patient Care and the Financial Bottom Line

CHICAGO, Jan. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ClinicalBox, Inc. and Barrington Orthopedic Specialists announced today the launch of PrecisionAuth™, ClinicalBox's leading prior auth automation solution, at the leading orthopedic practice.

One of the biggest challenges for a surgeon practice is prior auth. 86 percent of physicians report prior auth is a significant and growing headache and the President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons said earlier this year that "prior authorization is becoming more and more of a burden. What we're seeing is a significant uptick in peer-to-peer conversations." As the prior auth burden continues to increase so does the need for effective management solutions.

"Prior auth is a constant challenge and in this environment, we cannot find staff to do the work. And even if we could, the burden keeps rising and our staff can't keep up," said Barrington Orthopedic Specialists' CEO Rik Baier.

Designed by surgeons for surgeons, PrecisionAuth™ seamlessly integrates with the EHR of a surgeon practice using artificial intelligence to search hundreds of pages of clinical documentation for a patient in seconds and comparing it with the health plan's own policies. PrecisionAuth™ makes prior auth prep 85% faster.

"PrecisionAuth and the ClinicalBox team have and continue to outperform any other software or service vendor we have worked with or evaluated," Barrington's CEO Rik Baier continued. "They enable us to book more procedures than we would with the same resources by using their artificial intelligence prior auth automation solutions. In addition to the positive impact on revenue, we also save by being able to close multiple open positions that we couldn't fill anyway and to keep growing without increasing staffing. PrecisionAuth is seamlessly integrated with our EHR, supporting surgical, pain injection and imaging prior auths for every single health plan we work with. This puts our team firmly in the driver's seat. Their pursuit of efficiency and automation is tireless with a top-notch and highly responsive team. ClinicalBox embraces true collaboration at every step. It is a pleasure to be working with leading innovators."
