When a patient needs an MRI, every day matters. But in many radiology practices, prior authorizations (PAs) can take 3–5 days—or longer—delaying diagnoses, frustrating patients, and leading to missed revenue.

At DynaNet, we partnered with a busy multi-location radiology group that was losing over $50,000/year due to delayed imaging slots, repeat rescheduling, and overworked staff. Here’s how we helped them cut approval times by 70%—and recover their revenue.

📉 The Pain Point: Approval Delays Were Killing Patient Flow

The clinic was struggling with:

  • Manual submission errors

  • Incomplete clinical documentation

  • Missed payer-specific requirements

  • Frequent follow-up calls from staff

These issues pushed average MRI PA turnaround to 4 business days, with many patients abandoning their appointments or seeking alternatives.

✅ The DynaNet Solution: Automation + Expertise

We deployed a custom PA workflow combining:

  • Real-time payer rules engine for CPT code matching

  • Automated clinical documentation generation

  • Proactive follow-ups triggered by delay thresholds

  • Daily audit tracking and escalations to reduce bottlenecks

The result? MRI PAs were approved in under 24 hours, in most cases.

💰 The Business Impact

Over the next 60 days:

  • Turnaround times fell by 70%

  • Clinic recaptured $50,000+ in imaging revenue

  • Staff workload dropped by 30%

  • Patient no-show rates improved by 20%

“We didn’t realize how many patients we were losing until the delays were gone. It’s night and day.”
