The platform integrated directly with the practice’s EMR, automatically generating, submitting, and tracking PA requests while flagging complex cases for clinical review. Within three months, the practice reduced PA costs by 60%, accelerated approvals by 50%, and gave clinical staff back over 300 hours annually.The automation also improved first-pass approval rates by 50%, minimized rework, and restored trust among providers frustrated by the previous manual processes.
