Will it actually reduce denials?

That is the point of the requirement check. Each submission is compared against the payer’s list for that code before it leaves your clinic, so the most common denial reason, missing documentation, is caught first. Early partners report fewer resubmissions and shorter waits.

How is patient data handled?

The platform is built to HIPAA requirements. During early access, automation is tested with de-identified data and no protected health information leaves your environment without a signed agreement.

Do we need an EHR integration?

No. The assistant works alongside any EHR from day one. Enter or paste the clinical findings, and the forms, letter and tracking are generated from that. Integrations come later, when they are worth the IT project.

What does early access include?

A working account, a direct channel to the team, pricing locked at early-access rates for the life of the account and a say in what gets built next. No credit card and no commitment.

Sleep study prior authorization, approved on the first submission.

Prior Authorization Assistant fills every payer form, drafts the medical necessity letter and tracks each case for US sleep clinics. In-lab, home, CPAP, BiPAP and supplies.

The cost of waiting

What a slow prior authorization costs

Prior authorization is the longest gap between an order and a study. For a sleep program it is also where revenue quietly goes missing.

How it works

From order to approval, in four steps

The assistant knows what each payer asks for each sleep study, and does the paperwork before anyone on your team opens a portal.

Step 1.
Intake pulls the payer’s rules
Pick the study and the plan. The assistant lists exactly what that payer wants for that code, from the Epworth score to the sleep history, and flags what is still missing from the chart.
Aetna requirements
95810
Epworth Sleepiness Scale documented
ESS 14, recorded 12 May
Symptoms present for at least three months
Snoring, witnessed apneas
BMI and neck circumference recorded
BMI 34, neck 17.5 in
Home sleep test failed or contraindicated
Add HST result or physician note
Order with diagnosis code
G47.33, signed
Checking the chart against the list.
Step 2.
The medical necessity letter drafts itself
Clinical findings become a letter written in the language reviewers approve: symptoms, duration, comorbidities, the study ordered and why. Your physician signs. Nobody retypes.
Letter of medical necessity
To Aetna
Re: Attended polysomnography, CPT 95810. Diagnosis G47.33, obstructive sleep apnea.
The patient presents with excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth 14), loud snoring and witnessed apneas reported by a bed partner, persisting for more than six months.
Examination shows a BMI of 34 and a neck circumference of 17.5 inches. The patient has hypertension that remains poorly controlled on two agents.
An attended polysomnography (CPT 95810) is medically necessary to confirm obstructive sleep apnea and to guide therapy. A home study is contraindicated given the cardiovascular comorbidity.
Electronically signed by the ordering physician. Ready for submission.
Step 3.
Forms are filled, not typed
Payer and state forms are completed from the same data in one pass. Every field is checked against the requirement list before anything leaves the clinic.

Every case on one board

Approved, pending, waiting on documents, denied. Each case shows its age and its next action, so nothing sits in a fax queue for three weeks unnoticed.

Why it is hard

Same study. Four rulebooks.

One attended polysomnography, four plans, four different lists before anyone says yes. The assistant keeps every list current and checks your chart against the one that matters.

Early access

What sleep programs told us they need from prior authorization software

We are building with a small group of US sleep centers. These are the problems they brought us, in their words.

“In-lab and home studies should move through authorization the same way. Right now one takes a day and the other takes a fax queue.”
Cleveland Clinic
Sleep program, family medicine
“When a payer denies a CPAP, I need the reason the same day, not when the EOB shows up. Give me the reason and the fix.”
Sleep Center of Georgia
Authorization coordinator
“Our coordinators live in five portals and a spreadsheet. If every case were on one board with its next step, we could stop losing them.”
Cleveland Clinic
Apnea specialist

Payer guides

Prior authorization rules, state by state

Medicaid programs and regional plans each ask for something different. We keep a requirements guide for every state we serve.

Questions

Questions sleep programs ask about prior authorization

Because generic authorization tools do not know that a 95811 titration needs a prior 95810 result, or which payers accept a home study first. Every rule in the assistant is specific to sleep studies, PAP therapy and the supplies that follow.

Early access for US sleep centers

We are onboarding a small number of programs while we build. If your clinic runs in-lab or home studies and fights payers for every one, we would like to work with you.
