Prior authorisation packets

AI prior authorization requests prepared for staff review

Prior authorisation requests are assembled from the record against each payer's criteria, with missing evidence flagged, then submitted by staff.

01 today

The problem

Each payer has its own forms, portals and criteria. Staff dig through the record for the right notes and results, then wait on hold or refresh portals. Requests come back for missing information, care is delayed and some patients give up on the treatment.

02 the run

What the AI does

  1. Step 1: Spots orders that need authorisation for the patient's plan, such as imaging, procedures or specialty drugs.
  2. Step 2: Reads the payer's published criteria for that service and builds a checklist.
  3. Step 3: Pulls the matching evidence from the record, such as prior treatments tried, test results and notes, with page references.
  4. Step 4: Fills the payer's form or portal fields and flags anything the record does not show.
  5. Step 5: Tracks each request's status and alerts staff to requests for more information and to approaching deadlines.

Where a person approves

Staff review and submit every request. Anything the record does not support goes back to the clinician, and the tool never adds clinical facts that are not documented.

What changes

Requests go in complete the first time, so fewer come back and patients wait less. Staff spend less time on hold and in portals, and nothing is lost between teams.
