RIS/PACS and advanced visualization developer Merge Healthcare has inked a deal with medical benefits management firm EviCore Healthcare to automate and streamline the prior authorization process for medical imaging scans for payors, providers, and imaging centers.
Beginning in 2016, Merge's iConnect Network Services platform can also be used by referring physicians, hospitals, and medical imaging centers to access prior authorization information for more than 90 million insured individuals currently serviced by EviCore, according to the vendors.
