FORE Support Services launches breakthrough automated prior authorization software for imaging centers at RBMA 2015 Summit

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FORE Support Services, a premier developer of health care financial process automation, has announced the launch of its AuthPal automated prior authorization technology. The announcement was made today at the June Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) 2015 Radiology Summit Conference.

AuthPal is the only solution proven to save time and money for imaging centers by automating the prior authorization process.

“AuthPal represents breakthrough technology specifically developed to address the costs and headaches associated with prior authorizations,” said FORE Support Services President and CEO Mohammed M. Ahmed. “We’ve automated the entire process, eliminating costly denials and reducing labor costs, which will change the way imaging centers and radiology practices handle prior authorizations.”

Ahmed said the new technology cuts the time it takes to process a radiology prior authorization from days to just hours or minutes, dramatically reducing the amount of time staff spends on the phone. FORE representatives are available June 7, 8 and 9 to provide product demonstrations and answer questions at booth 613 in the Augustus Ballroom of Caesar’s Palace Hotel conference center.

The technology utilizes a HIPAA compliant secure cloud platform with SSL and AES 256 bit encryption to protect private health information. AuthPal automatically checks if a prior authorization is required and obtains the latest status along with details such as Auth Number and Good Dates. Complete features and benefits are available on the AuthPal website.

With this year’s participation at RBMA, FORE is building on its strength of providing financial process automation solutions that reduce administrative costs, accelerate cash flow and increase overall patient satisfaction for health care providers.
