Prior Authorization

MedCycle Solutions Services

Before your practice can begin a certain procedure, it may need to be approved or certified in order to be covered by insurance. When you run a busy practice, you don’t have time for all the back-end work that comes with pre-authorization. Filling out the proper paperwork is a time-consuming task, and it slows down the entire process if not completed correctly.

Clients should look forward to a number of benefits when partnering with MedCycle experts:
