Patient access challenges

evolving

Evolving processes

As payer systems and requirements — from eligibility to authorization — become more complex, your teams face increased pressure to adhere to them.

burnout

Staff burnout

Patient access teams often experience high turnover due to the intensity of the work involved and the emotional nature of the role.

RisingExpectations

Rising expectations 

Patients want the same modern experiences they get from other industries. But healthcare organizations aren't always equipped for such transformation.

up-trend

Denials trending upward

The average denials rate is up 23% in the last few years, largely due to upstream challenges, and up to 65% of rejected claims are never resubmitted.

trust-security

Payer changes around preauthorization requirements and increased demand to schedule diagnostic procedures as soon as possible is driving significant volumes for financial clearance. Hiring to handle these volumes can be challenging and isn't always the most strategic solution. Machine-learning-based technologies such as AKASA have been critical to ensuring our teams can provide rapid turnaround for verifying eligibility and securing an authorization.
