Why pediatric practices are hit hardest
Children often have Medicaid or managed Medicaid, which means authorizations with set visit counts and date ranges, frequent plan switches, and monthly eligibility changes.
A daily authorization rhythm
The practices that avoid write-offs share a few habits:
- Eligibility verified before every episode and re-checked monthly
- Visits used vs. authorized tracked in real time
- Re-authorization requests started well before expiration
- Front desk and billing working from one shared board
How our program helps
Our Eligibility & Authorization Program builds custom Monday.com boards into your intake process and manages authorizations and eligibility every business day. It's available as a separately priced add-on, based on team availability.
Quick answers
How do pediatric therapy practices avoid authorization denials?
Verify eligibility monthly, track visits used against visits authorized, and start re-authorizations well before they expire, using one shared workflow.
