In this scenario, the total number of PUT request is calculated as 1000 × 31 = 31000, whereas the total number of GET requests is calculated as 2000 × 31 = 62000.
To assess the effects of interactions (i.e. type of insurer, purpose of request, respondent and practice characteristics) on the time required for each prior authorization, time spent on PA requests was calculated in minutes and modeled as a dependent variable, where each EF was treated as a case.
