Faxed orders, scanned attachments, and inbox folders shouldn't be the reason prior authorizations are delayed. Yet for many radiology groups, that's still the case. Manual document capture creates friction at the front of the process—forcing staff to rename, sort, and route incoming faxes before a prior auth can even begin. In this episode, we explore how automating document capture accelerates the entire prior authorization workflow. From identifying STAT orders to extracting key order details and triggering auth submissions, we'll walk through how imaging centers are using AI-driven tools to minimize lag, reduce errors, and scale operations without burning out staff. Joining us is Charulata Nevatia, a healthcare product leader with deep experience in workflow automation. She'll share what high-performing radiology groups are doing differently and what steps you can take to modernize intake and boost auth readiness.

It's a Medicaid Madness mess.For many years, Medicaid has been providing support for America's most vulnerable populations.

The nation's Medicaid program has seen better days. Recently, the federal government's program to provide healthcare coverage to America's low-income and vulnerable citizens was used as a bargaining chip as congressional Republicans were in the throes of budget negotiations, facing the daunting task to pass what President Trump calls his “big, beautiful bill:” a package of tax breaks disproportionately favoring the wealthy and spending cuts. The bill, which last week passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, is now making its way through the Senate.Then there was the announcement this midweek that the Deputy Administrator and Director of the Center for Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Services, Drew Synder, was resigning from the federal agency.Reporting on these developing stories during the next live edition of the long-running Internet broadcast Monitor Mondays will be Drew Updike, MD.The venerable broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior healthcare government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.
