A System Stuck in the Middle: The Cumbersome Prior Authorization Process
The prior authorization (PA) process is a pivotal checkpoint between providers and payers, designed to ensure the necessity and cost-effectiveness of medical procedures. However, what was intended as a cost-control mechanism has become a source of frustration and inefficiency. For instance, a provider may submit an MRI authorization request, only to wait days or weeks for payer approval. Providers face the challenge of navigating payer-specific requirements and submitting extensive documentation. Payers, on the other hand, grapple with reviewing countless requests in a timely manner, often constrained by outdated systems.
Caught in the crossfire of these inefficiencies are the patients. Delays in approval can postpone critical imaging procedures, leading to prolonged diagnoses, delayed treatments, and increased anxiety for patients and their families. The lack of streamlined communication between providers and payers creates a gap in the healthcare ecosystem, one that has long begged for an innovative solution. Clavis Health envisions a solution that mitigates these delays and fosters collaboration.

Bridging the Gap: The Clavis Advantage
What sets Clavis Health apart is the synergy between our provider and payer solutions. Our provider-focused solutions and payer-specific tools are designed to complement each other, forming a harmonious system that bridges the current gap in radiology healthcare. Providers experience fewer administrative burdens and higher approval rates, while payers gain efficiency and consistency in reviews. Most importantly, patients benefit from faster care, reduced stress, and better outcomes. Instead of viewing each side as separate entities, we recognize the interdependence of their workflows and build tools that facilitate collaboration:
Provider Solution: Empowering Radiology Teams
Clavis Health’s provider solution is tailored to alleviate the administrative burden of radiology practices, allowing clinicians to focus on delivering care. With these tools, radiology teams spend less time on paperwork and more time on patient care, ultimately improving outcomes and satisfaction:
Automated Submissions: Our platform integrates with EHR and RIS systems, pre-filling prior authorization requests with accurate patient data and payer-specific requirements.
Real-Time Compliance Checks: AI-powered tools ensure submissions align with the latest payer policies, reducing errors and preventing denials.
Streamlined Appeals Process: For denied requests, our system generates payer-specific appeal letters backed by radiology guidelines, accelerating resolution times.
Comprehensive Analytics Dashboard: Providers gain actionable insights into approval rates, bottlenecks, and opportunities for optimization.
Payer Solution: Driving Efficiency and Collaboration
Our payer solution is designed to address the challenges insurers face in processing prior authorization requests while fostering collaboration with providers. By automating processes and creating transparency, our payer solution improves the efficiency and accuracy of prior authorization reviews:
Automated Claims Validation: AI evaluates the medical necessity of imaging studies, ensuring adherence to policy guidelines and reducing manual reviews.
Real-Time Compliance Tools: A seamless feedback loop allows payers to request additional documentation or clarifications directly from providers, minimizing delays.
Post-Authorization Monitoring: The system identifies downstream issues, helping payers track patterns in denials or approvals, adjusting policies to reduce unnecessary rejections.
Adaptive AI Learning: Continuously updates policies to reflect changes in medical standards and payer-specific requirements, ensuring consistent compliance.
A Vision for the Future
Clavis Health isn’t just improving prior authorization; we’re transforming how providers and payers work together. In this new system, a patient with suspected multiple sclerosis can receive an MRI authorization in hours instead of days, expediting treatment planning. By creating solutions that complement one another, we’re redefining the relationship between these key players in radiology, making it less transactional and more collaborative. With Clavis Health, the cumbersome process of prior authorization becomes a seamless experience, ensuring that no patient is left waiting for the care they need.
