In 2019, almost 22 million people have enrolled to Medicare Advantage Plans, similar to 2017 and 2018. Between 2018 and 2019, total enrollment of Medicare Advantage grew by 1.6 million beneficiaries, nearly the same growth rate as the prior year. The CBO, Congressional Budget Office projects the share of beneficiaries to rise by 47% by 2029.

Unlike Traditional Medicare which does not require prior auth for a vast majority of services, Medicare Advantage plans can require enrollees to get the approval from the plan prior to receiving the service. If approval is not granted, the plan generally does not cover the cost of the service. Prior authorization requirements surely create hurdles for the beneficiaries as well as their beneficiaries, limiting access to both necessary and unnecessary care.

Key Findings:
♦ 80% of the Medicare enrollees are in plans that require prior authorization for at least one Medicare covered service.
♦ 70% of enrollees are in plans that need prior authorization for DME, Part B drugs, skilled nursing facility stays, and in-patient hospital stays
♦ 60% of enrollees are in plans that need prior authorization for AMBULANCE, Home health procedures and lab tests
♦ More than half of enrollees are in plans that need prior authorization for mental health services

It is pretty evident, that as a healthcare provider, you will have to ensure better chances of securing reimbursements, better patient experience with a streamlined prior authorization approach. Finding a reliable partner that can take care of all your prior authorization requirements will be the best possible step forward!
