Operational
Interventional pain procedures require prior authorization from insurance carriers. This workflow captures insurance details and clinical justification on the call, so staff can submit requests immediately without chasing the patient.
All required information is captured during the initial intake call. Your staff submit requests to the carrier immediately instead of waiting for follow-up contact with the patient.
Complete clinical justification is captured and presented to the carrier (prior failed treatments, imaging, medical necessity). Incomplete or missing data that triggers denials is avoided.
Carriers process requests with complete clinical context faster. Fewer back-and-forth requests for missing information mean quicker approvals and faster scheduling confirmation.
Procedures can be confirmed and scheduled immediately after authorization (same or next day) instead of being held pending data collection. Reduces patient anxiety and cancellations.
Insurance details and clinical justification are pre-gathered. Staff focus on submission, follow-up, and appeals—not hunting for patient information.

Subscriber name, subscriber ID, group number, insurance carrier name, and the patient's relationship to the subscriber (self, spouse, dependent). The AI asks these questions naturally during the call without sounding like a data-entry form.
No. The AI captures insurance details only. Your staff use this information to contact the carrier directly to verify coverage, benefits, deductible status, and authorization requirements. The captured details are a starting point for your verification process.
The AI asks: previous treatments tried (physical therapy, oral medications, injections—dates and outcome), imaging studies (MRI, CT findings), pain duration, functional limitations, and current medications. This is returned as a structured summary to demonstrate medical necessity.
The summary is returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable document that you can copy into your prior authorization request template or carrier portal. It includes all relevant clinical justification and insurance details for your staff to review and submit.
The AI-captured summary is designed to meet standard prior authorization requirements. If a carrier requests additional specifics (e.g., imaging reports, failed medication list), your clinical staff can provide these from the patient record. The structured intake summary is a foundation that accelerates most approvals.
Yes. If a patient is self-pay, the AI collects that information. If they are out-of-network, it still captures their insurance details for potential coverage verification. The workflow works for all patient types; prior auth is only required for insured, in-network procedures.
