In orthopedic practices, time isn’t just money—it’s OR availability. Every missed MRI prior authorization can snowball into canceled surgeries, empty time blocks, and lost revenue.

One large orthopedic group came to DynaNet with a critical issue:

MRI delays were costing them $8,000–$12,000 per week in unused operating room time.

Here’s how we fixed it and helped them recover over $100,000 in revenue.

⚠️ The Hidden Cost of MRI Delays in Orthopedics

When imaging is delayed:

  • Surgeries get pushed back

  • OR calendars go underutilized

  • Providers lose income

  • Patients lose trust

The clinic’s prior auth denials were often due to:

  • CPT code mismatches

  • Missing pre-op notes

  • Delayed peer-to-peer responses

  • Lack of payer-specific language

✅ DynaNet’s Ortho Imaging PA Workflow

We built a custom imaging PA solution for this orthopedic group, including:

  • CPT + ICD-10 validation engine

  • Pre-submission checklist for surgical documentation

  • Auto-routing of high-risk cases for peer review

  • Real-time progress tracking and payer ETA dashboard

💰 Real Results in 60 Days

  • MRI denial rates dropped by 40%

  • Average approval time reduced from 3.5 days to 1.2 days

  • OR utilization improved by 22%

  • Net revenue recovered: $102,000

“We didn’t just speed things up—we actually got our surgeries back on the calendar.”

🦴 Why It Matters

Orthopedic practices rely on tight surgical scheduling.
One delay in MRI = one surgery missed = one patient lost.

DynaNet helps eliminate that risk with proactive workflows and imaging PA intelligence.
