Oncology PA Is Not General PA.

Oncology prior authorizations are complex, time-sensitive, and denial-prone. Most practices are managing them with understaffed billing teams or general-purpose BPOs that don't understand chemotherapy protocols, payer-specific documentation requirements, or the true cost of a denied infusion.

A single denied chemotherapy authorization means delayed treatment, administrative rework, and lost revenue — sometimes exceeding $15,000 per case. The documentation gap between what payers require and what practices submit is where most denials originate.

ClearPath was built specifically for this problem. Not adapted from general healthcare BPO. Built from the ground up for oncology.

⚠ Illinois Payer Update — April 2026

BCBSIL and Carelon changed oncology PA requirements effective April 1, 2026 — including the removal of radiation oncology codes previously reviewed by Carelon and updates to advanced imaging authorization. Practices submitting under old requirements are receiving denials. ClearPath has mapped all updated code requirements and payer routing changes to ensure zero treatment delays for Illinois oncology providers.

Three Outcomes. One Engagement.

Faster Approvals

AI pre-screening catches missing documentation before submission. Fewer rejections on first pass. Faster turnaround — standard 24–48 hours, priority 4–8 hours, stat 2 hours.

🛡️

Denial Prevention

Clinical documentation accuracy review identifies coding errors and payer requirement gaps before they become denials. Error prevention is built into every case we touch.

👩‍⚕️

RN-Level Review

Every case reviewed by a credentialed oncology-trained RN. Not a billing clerk. Not an algorithm alone. Clinical expertise at every step of the authorization process.

How It Works

From Case Submission to Approval —
We Handle It.

Four steps. Full coverage. Real-time visibility at every stage.

01

Case Submission

Clinic submits PA case via EHR integration or secure portal. API, SFTP, or portal access — configured to your system.

02

Payer-Specific AI Pre-Screening

AI engine is configured per payer — BCBSIL, Carelon, Medicare, Medicaid — and updated as payer requirements change. Flags missing documentation and denial risk before submission.

03

RN Review & Submission

Credentialed RN specialist reviews, completes, and submits to payer. Appeals handled if needed. Nothing falls through the cracks.

04

Real-Time Reporting

Clinic receives real-time status updates and a 30-day performance report: approval rates, turnaround times, errors caught, denial reduction.
