Prior authorization has long been the bane of healthcare administration, taking an average of 3 days per request and costing practices thousands in staff time. But intelligent AI is changing that.
Manual prior authorization requires staff to fill out lengthy forms, make phone calls to insurance companies, and wait days for approval. Our data shows the average practice spends 20+ hours per week on prior auth alone, with denial rates as high as 22% due to errors.
A typical practice with 5 providers spends:
IntakeAccess.ai's intelligent prior auth system uses machine learning to automate the entire process:
Our AI extracts patient data from your EHR and auto-fills prior auth forms with 94% accuracy. Staff simply review and submit.
Before submission, the AI predicts approval likelihood based on payer history and suggests corrections to improve chances.
Submit directly to 500+ payers including BCBS, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna. No more faxing or phone calls.
The system automatically tracks submissions and follows up with payers until approval is received.
Dr. Sarah Johnson's practice in Montgomery saved $120K in their first year by eliminating a full-time prior auth specialist position. Their approval rate increased from 78% to 94%, and auth time dropped from 3 days to 5 minutes.
"We used to dread prior auths. Now it's completely automated. Best decision we ever made."
