The reality

One patient case can involve multiple payer steps.

Authorization requests, supporting documents, payer queries and claims can move between hospital teams and external payer workflows. Keeping every step visible is critical to keeping the case moving.

The hospital problem

Pre-authorization takes time to complete.

A hospital may need to submit patient information, clinical details, treatment information, estimates and supporting documents before a payer or TPA can process an authorization request.

The TPA desk needs to know exactly where every authorization stands and what needs to happen next.

The hospital problem

Missing documents delay approvals.

Questions

Corporate & TPA, answered plainly.

What is a Corporate & TPA Desk in a hospital?

A Corporate & TPA Desk manages insurance, corporate and third-party administrator requirements related to patient care, including pre-authorization, documentation, payer queries and claims.

What does a hospital TPA Desk do?

A hospital TPA Desk handles authorization requests, collects required documents, responds to payer queries, tracks approval status and coordinates claim-related activities.

What is hospital pre-authorization?

Pre-authorization is the process of obtaining approval from an insurer or TPA for eligible treatment before the claim proceeds through the applicable cashless process.

Why do hospital pre-authorizations get delayed?

Pre-authorizations can be delayed when required medical information, documents, estimates or clarifications are incomplete or when additional information is requested by the payer.

How can hospitals manage missing documents for TPA approval?

Hospitals can use a document checklist to identify missing information, notify the responsible department, track document collection and update the authorization case once the required documents are available.

How can hospitals manage payer queries?

Hospitals can connect each payer query to the relevant patient case, assign it to the appropriate team, track the response and maintain the query status until it is resolved.

Can hospitals notify patients about insurance status?

Yes. Hospitals can configure patient notifications for relevant insurance or claim status updates, such as approval, rejection or a request for additional information.

What happens when an insurance claim is rejected?

When a claim is rejected, the hospital can record the rejection status and available reason, review the case and communicate the relevant information to the patient or responsible team.

How can hospitals track insurance claims?

Hospitals can track claims through stages such as submitted, under review, query raised, response submitted, approved, rejected or payment received, depending on the payer workflow.

What is the difference between pre-authorization and a claim?

Pre-authorization is the approval process associated with planned or eligible treatment, while a claim is the subsequent request for payment based on the actual treatment and applicable expenses.

How can Wisemelon help a hospital TPA Desk?

Wisemelon can connect authorization requests, document requirements, payer queries, claim status, responsible teams and configured patient communications into one operational workflow.
