This session focuses on optimizing prior authorization, appeals, and medication access workflows for obesity medicine practices operating at scale. Designed for clinicians and operational leaders, it addresses payer variability, high-volume efficiency, complex denial resolution, and strategies to improve approval rates across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid plans. Faculty will review advanced prior authorization and appeal workflows, including payer-specific documentation requirements, escalation pathways, appeal best practices, and decision-making frameworks for when to persist, revise documentation, escalate, or pivot access strategies. The session will also explore staffing models that support scalable operations and the role of bridge programs in maintaining continuity of care during authorization delays or denials.
