Prior Auth Is Broken — And It’s Costing You Patients and Revenue

A fully manual process designed in the fax era — consuming staff time, delaying care, and driving patients to competitors.

7–14 days

Average prior auth turnaround

Every day a patient waits for authorization is a day they might go somewhere else, cancel their appointment, or deteriorate clinically. Staff spend hours on hold.

3 FTEs

Average staff dedicated to prior auth at a 50-provider practice

Prior auth is entirely manual: calling payers, faxing documents, following up daily. At most practices, it consumes 2–4 full-time employees’ entire workday.

17%

Of authorized procedures never performed

Treatment delays from slow auths lead to patient abandonment, rescheduling, and clinical deterioration — turning approved auths into wasted administrative work.

8 Core Capabilities

End-to-End Prior Auth Automation

From requirement detection to approval tracking — every step of the prior auth lifecycle handled automatically.

Automated Auth Preparation

AI reads the clinical notes, identifies what’s needed for the auth request, and pre-populates the complete submission packet — clinical justification, diagnosis codes, supporting documentation.

< 5 min prep

Payer Requirement Intelligence

Knows exactly what each payer requires for each procedure — clinical criteria, documentation specifics, required forms. No more calling to ask what to send.

50+ payers

Real-Time Status Tracking

Track every open auth request in a live dashboard. Know exactly where each request stands, what’s pending, and when to expect a decision — without calling the payer.

Live status

Expiration Alerts

Automatic alerts when authorizations are approaching expiration, when decisions are received, and when requests need follow-up — zero items fall through the cracks.

Never miss a deadline

Clinical Justification Writer

AI generates a medically complete clinical justification letter based on the patient’s documentation — tailored to the specific payer’s medical policy for the requested procedure.

Payer-specific

Appeals for Denials

When a prior auth is denied, AI automatically generates the appeal package with clinical evidence, regulatory citations, and peer-to-peer review request if appropriate.

Integrated workflow

How It Works

From scheduling to billing — prior auth runs on autopilot in four steps.

01

Request Identified

When a procedure requiring prior auth is scheduled, NexaClaim automatically identifies the requirement, pulls the patient’s clinical history, and begins preparing the submission.

02

AI Prepares Submission

Within minutes, AI generates a complete auth request with clinical justification, supporting documentation, and all payer-required forms — ready for review and submission.

03

Automated Follow-Up

NexaClaim tracks submitted requests and automatically follows up with payers at defined intervals. Your team is alerted when action is needed, not for status checks.

04

Decision Tracked to Billing

When the auth is approved, the approval number and validity dates flow directly into the claim — preventing auth-related denials at submission time.
