  • Publication number: 20250217811
    Abstract: A method includes processing, by one or more processors, historical claim and claim remittance information to extract prior authorization data; performing, by the one or more processors, a probabilistic analysis on the prior authorization data for a procedure to generate a first metric and a second metric, the first metric comprising a percentage of claims including the procedure in which prior authorization is applied for and the second metric comprising a percentage of claims including the procedure in which prior authorization was not applied for and were denied payment for not applying for prior authorization; determining, by the one or more processors, whether the first metric satisfies a first authorization threshold and the second metric satisfies a second authorization threshold, the first and second thresholds being associated with a prior authorization rule corresponding to the procedure; and generating, by the one or more processors, a recommendation on whether to obtain prior authorization before
