Workflow

Automate insurance pre-auth calls and prior authorization tracking for pain procedures

Interventional pain procedures require upfront insurance verification and pre-authorization. AI reception captures and logs authorization requirements without tying up your clinical staff.

How it pays back

Staff spend zero time on authorization hold

The AI handles the initial verification call; your staff review and file the structured summary, not listen to hold music.

Authorization gaps found before the procedure date

Missing or expired prior authorizations are flagged days in advance, giving time to resubmit without delays or cancellations.

Insurance details logged without EMR clutter

Authorization status, reference numbers, and coverage limits are captured on the call and summarized for your team. Clinical staff don't have to dig through insurance notes in the chart.

Fewer claim denials and patient billing disputes

Pre-authorization confirmed upfront means the procedure is covered as expected; fewer post-service claim issues.

Insurance verified before appointment

Coverage and pre-authorization status confirmed during intake, not on procedure day

Authorization summary ready for staff

Reference numbers, effective dates, and coverage limits in a single structured note

Follow-up tracking automated

Pending authorizations flagged for resubmission if not approved within your practice timeline

HIPAA-aware data capture

Insurance details encrypted and separated from clinical notes per compliance requirements

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI call the insurance company?

Yes. During intake, the AI can initiate a three-way bridge with the patient's insurance to verify coverage and obtain authorization details. Your staff receive a clean summary without manual hold time.

What if the insurance company requires a clinical justification?

The AI captures the clinical scenario (procedure type, diagnosis, prior treatments) and returns it to your staff. Your provider reviews and can send clinical notes to the insurance company separately if needed.

Are insurance details written to the EMR?

Insurance information is captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file. Your team decides where and how it's documented in accordance with your EMR workflow.

Can the AI track authorization expiration?

Yes. The AI logs the authorization effective date and end date. If a procedure is scheduled after expiration, your staff is alerted to resubmit the prior authorization.

What if a patient has a secondary or tertiary payer?

The AI can verify multiple insurers in sequence. All payer information is captured and summarized so your billing team has a complete picture before the procedure.
