Why HEDIS matters for prior authorization
Health plans align prior authorization criteria with HEDIS measures: documenting your patient meets the HEDIS definition often streamlines or eliminates PA hurdles. For Medicare Advantage in particular, plans are heavily incentivized via Star Ratings to push members and providers toward measure compliance, which translates into faster approvals for measure-aligned services.
