Challenges We Solve
Behavioral health requires more prior authorizations than almost any other specialty. Payers demand approval for initial treatment, continued stays, and level-of-care changes — and they don't make it easy. Here's how we help.
Authorizations Take Too Long and Delay Patient Care
Your clinical team spends hours on hold with payers, submitting documentation, and chasing approvals. Meanwhile, patients wait for treatment they need now — and your staff can't focus on the work they were hired to do.
How Prosperity Solves This
We handle the entire prior authorization process — initial submissions, clinical documentation, payer calls, and follow-up — so your team stays focused on patients while we get approvals moving.
Reauthorizations Slip Through the Cracks
Continued stay authorizations require constant attention. Miss a deadline and treatment stops, the patient discharges early, or you provide care that won't get reimbursed. It's relentless.
How Prosperity Solves This
We track authorization timelines and submit reauthorization requests before they’re due. We monitor expiration dates across your census so nothing lapses and no revenue falls through the cracks.
Payers Deny or Shorten Authorizations Without Justification
Insurance companies routinely approve fewer days than clinically appropriate or deny authorization altogether. Without someone who knows how to push back, you accept whatever they give you.
How Prosperity Solves This
We advocate for appropriate lengths of stay using clinical documentation and payer criteria. When authorizations are denied or shortened, we know how to escalate and appeal to get the days your patients need.
We secure authorizations for step-downs and level-of-care changes, ensuring continuity of coverage as patients move through treatment.
