Prior Authorization Solutions
Premier’s artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions help payers simplify approvals, ensuring that necessary decisions are made quickly and accurately.
Faster Approvals, Better Care
Prior authorization is a critical safeguard in healthcare, ensuring that treatments and medications are medically necessary, cost-effective and aligned with your organization’s policies. But traditional prior authorization is often slow and inefficient, burdening payers with manual processes and delays that disrupt patient care.
Premier’s Stanson Health innovation solution, ImagingAssure, helps streamline radiology prior authorization by enabling medical necessity review, automated approvals and expert oversight within the existing clinical workflow. The result: faster decisions, reduced administrative burden and improved patient access to care.
Streamline Your Process
According to a physician survey by the American Medical Association (AMA), 94 percent of surveyed physicians reported that prior authorization delays led to patient care delays, and 88 percent said the administrative burden was high or extremely high. These inefficiencies can postpone essential treatments, leading to poor health outcomes and frustration for payers, patients and providers.
Automating prior authorization streamlines decision-making, leading to lower costs and more efficient approvals that enhance care delivery. By reducing administrative burdens and facilitating better collaboration between payers and providers, Premier’s solutions ensure that patients receive timely care, improving both satisfaction and health outcomes.
One Solution and Goal
ImageAssure
ImagingAssure is a fully integrated radiology benefit management solution that transforms prior authorization into a seamless, end-to-end experience — without the delays, disruption or provider friction of traditional Radiology Benefit Management (RBM). By combining real-time clinical decision support, automated authorization and intelligent routing with expert radiologist review, it streamlines the entire process within the clinical workflow, enabling faster approvals, reducing administrative burden and improving imaging utilization. The result is a smarter, more efficient approach to prior authorization that enhances provider satisfaction, accelerates patient access to care and delivers measurable operational and financial impact.
