The Challenge of Delayed Insurance Authorization:
In the complex landscape of healthcare, insurance authorization for diagnostic exams is a critical step. Unfortunately, the prior authorization process doesn't always proceed as smoothly as desired. Insurance companies may take time to review and approve requests, causing delays that can disrupt patients' scheduled appointments. This creates a frustrating experience for patients who eagerly await their exams, often facing uncertainty about when their procedure can be performed. 😞⏰
