On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we speak with April Todd, senior vice president, CORE and Explorations for CAQH. We discuss CAQH CORE’s recent approval of a 2-day rule for health plans in requesting additional supporting information from providers and making final determinations on prior authorization requests.
