🚨 Big news in healthcare: UnitedHealthcare announced a roughly 30% reduction in prior authorizations for certain services. That could mean less paperwork, fewer delays, and faster care for patients 👏 But here’s the important thing many people don’t realize 👇 ⚠️ Prior authorization does NOT guarantee payment. Even if something gets “approved,” insurance companies can still later deny, downcode, or dispute the claim after the care is already provided. So while reducing prior auth hurdles is a step in the right direction, the system is still far from simple for patients and physicians alike. 🏥📄💸 #healthcare #priorauthorization #insurance #medicine #orthopedics
