Prior authorization, tracked to done

Give every authorization an owner, a deadline, and a status the whole team can see — so nothing stalls and no patient waits.

HIPAA compliant · AES-256 encrypted · Full audit trail

The problem

Prior auths get lost between people and payers.

No single owner

Auths bounce between front desk, clinical staff, and billing — and stall when no one owns the next step.

Missed deadlines

Without due dates and reminders, authorizations expire or lapse — delaying care and triggering denials.

No paper trail

When a payer disputes it, there is no record of who did what, and when.

How it works

Assign it. Work it. Done.

Prior authorization work, assigned to a team member and tracked to done.

1

Capture

Log the auth — payer, CPT, deadline — by hand or from an Excel/CSV import.

2

Assign & track

Give it an owner and a due date; status is visible to the whole team.

3

Close the loop

Mark it approved, denied, or appealed — with a timestamped audit trail.
