Prior Authorization Services

Revenue Protection Before the Claim Is Ever Submitted

BillVolt provides end-to-end prior authorization services that secure payer approvals accurately, reduce authorization-related denials, and protect medical billing revenue before patient care is delivered.

Faster Approvals

We initiate and track prior authorizations quickly so treatment is not delayed and schedules remain intact.

Fewer Denials

Authorization details are verified against billed services to prevent mismatches that trigger denials.

Revenue Protection

Approvals are secured before care is delivered, reducing uncompensated services and write-offs.

Payer-Specific Accuracy

Each request follows payer rules for diagnosis, procedure codes, units, and timelines.

Why Prior Authorization Is a Revenue-Critical Step

Prior authorization is no longer a simple administrative task. It is a gatekeeper that determines whether a claim will be paid at all. Even perfectly coded claims are denied when authorization is missing, expired, or misaligned with services provided.

Revenue loss often happens before the claim is submitted, not after. BillVolt addresses this risk by treating prior authorization as a core part of the revenue cycle, not a disconnected workflow.

How BillVolt Handles Prior Authorizations

Authorization Intake & Eligibility Review

We confirm patient coverage, benefits, and payer-specific authorization requirements before initiating any request.

Clinical Documentation Alignment

Our team coordinates directly with providers to ensure documentation supports medical necessity and payer criteria.

Submission & Active Follow-Up

Authorization requests are submitted promptly and monitored closely, with follow-ups handled proactively until a determination is made.

Approval Validation Before Billing

Approved services, codes, dates, and units are verified against claims to prevent downstream denials.

Built for Complex and High-Risk Services

Prior authorization requirements vary widely across specialties and payers. BillVolt specializes in services where authorization errors are most costly and delays are most disruptive.

This includes surgical procedures, advanced imaging, cardiology diagnostics, pain management services, physical therapy, behavioral health care, and substance abuse treatment programs. Each authorization is managed with specialty-specific knowledge to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Denial Prevention Framework

Authorization-to-Claim Matching

We ensure authorization numbers, procedure codes, and diagnosis codes align exactly with billed claims.

Date and Unit Validation

Approved service windows and visit limits are reviewed to prevent overuse or expired authorization issues.

Pre-Submission Error Detection

Potential discrepancies are flagged before claims go out, reducing rework and delays.

Better Patient Experience, Not Just Better Billing

Delayed or denied authorizations impact more than revenue. They frustrate patients, disrupt schedules, and slow care delivery. By managing prior authorizations efficiently, BillVolt helps practices maintain predictable workflows and clearer communication with patients about coverage and treatment timing.

Patients experience fewer cancellations, and staff spend less time chasing approvals.
