In the fast-evolving world of healthcare operations, one question defines a practice’s success:
For many healthcare organizations, the answer is increasingly “no.”
According to the American Medical Association (AMA), the average physician processes 45 prior authorization requests per week, consuming nearly 14 hours of staff time, and 40% of providers employ additional staff solely for this purpose.
As patient volumes grow and payer rules tighten, manual and fragmented prior authorization processes simply can’t scale. That’s why forward-thinking practices are turning to Finnastra, a trusted Prior Authorization Services Company built to handle high-volume requests with speed, accuracy, and compliance.
Managing prior authorization (PA) at scale is not just about paperwork, it’s about revenue protection, patient experience, and operational efficiency.
The Three Major Pain Points:
A 2024 MGMA report found that 82% of medical practices say prior authorization is their top cause of workflow disruption. And more than 1 in 3 practices reported losing revenue due to delayed or denied authorizations.
The solution? Scalability that blends automation, precision, and expert oversight, the very foundation of Finnastra’s Prior Authorization Services.
At Finnastra, scalability isn’t a promise, it’s an engineered advantage.
Our Prior Authorization Services are designed to simplify even the most complex workflows through technology-enabled automation, payer-specific expertise, and real-time process visibility.
Our proprietary automation system seamlessly integrates with your EHR and billing platforms to extract, validate, and submit data at scale.
By linking insurance verification services and eligibility verification services upfront, we ensure clean, accurate submissions that dramatically reduce denials.
Result: Practices using Finnastra’s automated workflows see up to a 65% reduction in rework and 40% faster turnaround times.
Not all authorizations are equal.
Finnastra uses data intelligence to prioritize requests by urgency, payer complexity, and clinical category, ensuring time-sensitive cases get processed first.
This model allows our teams to manage hundreds of prior authorizations daily, without compromising quality or compliance.

As a leading Prior Authorization Services Company, Finnastra ensures every submission meets payer-specific documentation standards.
Our specialists proactively follow up, appeal denials, and maintain consistent communication with payers, closing the loop faster and cleaner than internal teams typically can.
We know visibility drives trust.
