Virtual Webinar on Prior Authorization
The Connecticut Orthopaedic Society, in partnership with the attorneys at Garfunkel Wilde, is hosting a virtual program focused on a deeper discussion of prior authorization. This event is open to all COS members and their staff. Prior authorization continues to create significant delays and administrative burden for Connecticut physicians and practice administrators. This webinar will focus on Connecticut-specific pre-authorization and prior authorization requirements, recent state policy developments, and payer practices impacting patient access to care. Attendees will gain practical strategies to navigate CT pre- and prior authorization processes more efficiently, reduce denials and delays, and better advocate for timely, appropriate patient care.
