Questions about working with AuthorizeRx

Every engagement starts with a defined workflow. These answers explain the approach and the decisions we discuss before work begins.

Scope

Can we start with one workflow?

Yes. A defined queue or recurring administrative task is a useful starting point. We discuss volume, access, review, and escalation before agreeing on the scope. Additional responsibilities can be considered after the initial process has been reviewed.

Do you replace our pharmacists or clinical staff?

No. Your licensed professionals retain clinical judgment, required verification, counseling, and other regulated responsibilities. Administrative support is limited to the tasks, qualifications, and permissions agreed for the engagement.

Do you work with systems other than FrameworkLTC?

Tell us which systems and configurations your workflow uses. We review suitability, permissions, and training needs during assessment. Do not assume a platform is supported or integrated until it has been confirmed for your engagement.

Are you affiliated with FrameworkLTC or SoftWriters?

References to FrameworkLTC describe the workflow context. They do not imply that AuthorizeRx is affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the platform’s owner.

Can you guarantee prior authorization approval or payment?

No. Payers determine coverage, authorization, and payment according to their rules and the circumstances of the case. Administrative follow-up can support the process, but it cannot guarantee the outcome.

Working together

What does onboarding require?

We discuss the workflow, approximate volume, source information, systems, required qualifications, coverage, escalation contacts, and review process. Procedures, appropriate access, training, and applicable agreements must be addressed before production work begins.

How are exceptions handled?

The operating playbook identifies when the team must pause, whom to contact, and what information to include. Clinical questions and other decisions outside the agreed scope return to the client’s designated staff. The next owner and action should remain visible.

How are personnel trained and supervised?

Training is based on the agreed client procedures and system configuration. The onboarding plan should specify who reviews readiness, how work is checked, who supervises it, and how issues are addressed. Those arrangements are confirmed for the engagement before work starts.

Will we need to replace our existing software?

The assessment begins with your current workflow and tools. We review whether the proposed support can operate within them. A software change or integration is not assumed, and any additional tool would need separate evaluation and approval.

What hours and staffing arrangements are available?

Coverage, staffing, holidays, and escalation arrangements are discussed for the proposed workflow and confirmed in the engagement. Please include your time zone and desired hours in the assessment request so we can review availability for your needs.

How are pricing and service levels determined?

The scope discussion considers the work, volume, complexity, coverage, supervision, and reporting required. We agree on pricing, service expectations, and commercial terms with you before work begins.

Technology and information

How do you use AI?

AI-assisted capabilities are evolving. Any proposed use is evaluated for the specific workflow. Before use, the tool, intended purpose, data handling, limitations, and required human review must be explained and approved. Ask us what is currently available for the workflow you are considering.

How will information access and security be handled?

Access and data-handling requirements are reviewed before work begins. During the assessment, ask for current documentation relevant to your proposed engagement, including applicable agreements and controls, so your organization can complete its review before granting access.

Can I send patient records through the contact form?

No. Use the form for business inquiries only. Do not include patient names, prescription images, medical records, account identifiers, or other sensitive information. If further information is needed, an appropriate method must be agreed separately.

Expanded physician-practice scope — proposed for review

Is this intended for small and private practices?

Yes. The proposed division focuses on independent physicians and smaller practices evaluating billing and administrative support. Start with a defined queue or backlog and review workload, internal review capacity and total cost. The menu does not establish verified staffing or guaranteed savings.

What is proposed for pain-management practices?

Connect registration, benefits and referrals, authorization requirements, approved billing inputs and follow-up through payment. Track provider, site, dates, units and procedure details supplied by the practice. Route clinical documentation and procedure or coding discrepancies to qualified reviewers. Specialty readiness must be validated.

What can physician billing and AR include?

The proposed scope includes encounter/charge reconciliation, approved charge entry, primary/secondary claims and clearinghouse tracking, payment posting, remittance reconciliation, denial/appeal administration and payer AR follow-up. Underpayment and credit-balance research identifies practice decisions. Refunds, settlements and write-offs remain under practice control; this is not independent debt collection.

How do clearinghouse rejections differ from payer denials?

A clearinghouse rejection means a claim has not been accepted for processing through that submission path. A payer denial requires review of its reason and response deadline. Unpaid or underpaid receivables need separate status and payment research. Use distinct queues with an owner, next action, deadline and escalation.

Can you support appeals?

Proposed administrative support includes categorizing denials, gathering permitted records, tracking deadlines and assembling packets for required review. Record submission references and responses. Clinical arguments, signatures and attestations remain with responsible professionals; reversal or payment is not guaranteed.

Is credentialing and enrollment included?

This proposed service requires capability validation and agreed scope. Organize application documents, submissions, roster changes and dates for enrollment, recredentialing and revalidation. Approved CAQH updates and hospital-privilege paperwork may be considered. The practice controls sensitive access and approves attestations; payer and hospital decisions remain with those organizations.

Is scribing or transcription available?

These optional services are under evaluation. Trained staffing, required patient consent, secure workflows and clinician review must be validated. Use approved source materials and flag unclear content. Clinicians correct and finalize notes; staff do not invent findings, diagnose or sign clinical notes.

Can support use our current EHR or practice-management system?

Assessment starts with your actual configuration. Validate access permissions, training, data use and suitability for each workflow. No named EHR, platform or integration is promised; additional tools require separate approval.

How would an engagement begin?

Review baseline workflows and workload; agree tasks and escalation owners; validate qualifications, system access, applicable contracts, privacy and security requirements; then consider a limited pilot. Review findings before expanding. Staffing, coverage, pricing and service levels are agreed separately.

What would reporting show?

Proposed reports can show claims awaiting submission, rejection and denial categories, AR aging, follow-up and blockers. Agree definitions, source systems and cadence. Separate work completed from claims accepted and payments received; no collection result or benchmark is promised.

Do benefits checks or authorizations guarantee reimbursement?

No. Benefits and authorization information depend on payer rules and case circumstances. Authorization does not establish medical necessity or guarantee payment. Payers retain coverage, approval and reimbursement decisions.

Who retains clinical and financial responsibility?

Licensed clinicians retain diagnosis, treatment plans, procedures, prescribing, controlled-substance decisions and note sign-off. The practice supplies approved documentation and charge inputs, identifies qualified coding reviewers and retains financial and policy decisions. Administrative personnel pause and escalate work outside scope.

Additional proposed portfolio questions

Does telephone support include clinical triage?

Administrative staff may capture requests and route them under approved escalation protocols. Clinical triage, symptom assessment and urgent advice remain with qualified licensed clinicians. No triage-nurse staffing is implied.

What telehealth support is proposed?

Appointment readiness, approved visit links and instructions, scheduling and nonclinical follow-up coordination may be considered. Clinicians determine suitability and conduct visits. Validate systems and access; no platform integration is assumed.

Can you support chronic-care or remote-monitoring programs?

Consider enrollment/documentation coordination, scheduling, approved outreach and task routing within an approved clinician-led program. Staff do not independently assess patients, interpret readings or recommend treatment. Validate consent, systems, supervision and escalation; billability is not promised.

What support surrounds MTM or therapeutic optimization?

Pharmacy administrative staff may coordinate appointments, records and routine nonclinical outreach. MTM, therapeutic optimization, clinical assessment, medication recommendations and decisions remain with licensed pharmacists or clinicians.

Can staff independently place pharmacy orders or resolve audit findings?

No. Proposed support may prepare purchase-order information for pharmacist approval, reconcile inventory/delivery records and assemble PBM audit records or discrepancy logs. Purchasing, dispensing, response approval and clinical, legal and compliance decisions stay with authorized pharmacy personnel. No audit result is guaranteed.

How are patient statements, estimates and payment plans handled?

Statements and estimates use practice-approved records and templates. Estimates can differ from final payer decisions or balances. Payment-plan coordination follows practice policy. Staff cannot independently change terms, approve concessions or collect funds; disputed balances are escalated.

Can you certify our coding, records or compliance?

No certification or compliance guarantee is proposed. Appropriately qualified personnel may conduct agreed reviews, document discrepancies and route corrections or judgments to authorized reviewers. Validate scope, records access and qualifications first.
