Prior authorization

Prior authorization, automated.

Docflow builds the request, submits it where the payer takes it, follows it to a decision and updates your system with the result. Around the clock, on your payer mix.

This is how you try Docflow: a 30-day pilot, fully refundable if you're not satisfied.

How it runs

Four steps, every one on the record.

  1. 01

    Build the request

    From the order and clinicals: the right form, the right codes, every required document attached.

  2. 02

    Submit it

    On the payer's portal or by fax, using your team's logins, one-time codes included.

  3. 03

    Follow it to a decision

    Docflow checks back on a schedule and flags any request for more information right away.

  4. 04

    Update your system

    The decision and authorization number land on the right order, with a replay of every step.

Payers and portals

Your payers. Their portals. Whatever you provide.

Prior auth works the same way whether you supply equipment, run a surgery center or see patients in a clinic: the payer sets the rules and the portal. Docflow submits wherever your payers take requests, and by fax on the payer's own form for everyone else.

Commercial plans

National and regional insurers, on their own portals or Availity.

Medicare Advantage

Plan portals and the benefit managers they delegate to.

Medicaid

State Medicaid and managed Medicaid portals, across all 50 states.

Medicare

Medicare contractor portals for the items and services that need prior auth.

Follow-through

It doesn't stop at submitted.

Docflow checks back on every request until there's a decision, so approvals get acted on the day they land. Patients get their equipment or procedure sooner, and you bill sooner.

Status checks

Every open request checked on a schedule, and the decision written to the order as soon as it's in.

Requests for more information

Flagged the same day, with exactly what the payer is asking for.

Denials

Docflow reads the reason, flags what's missing and resubmits once it's fixed.

Re-auths

Renewals start before the current authorization expires, with the documents attached.

Guardrails

It never guesses on a clinical question.

Answers come from the patient's records. Anything Docflow can't confirm goes to your team with the reason, before the request is sent.

Sent to your team

Sleep study missing AHI

The CPAP request needs the AHI from the sleep study. The attached report doesn't include it. Upload it, or tell Docflow where to find it.

FAQ

Prior auth questions.

Which payers do you submit to?

Commercial, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and Medicare plans across all 50 states, on their portals or by fax. Search the full list on our coverage page.

How do logins work?

Docflow uses your team's logins, on dedicated accounts where the portal allows, stored encrypted. It handles email codes and authenticator apps itself.

What happens if a payer asks for more information?

Docflow catches it on the next status check and sends it to your team with what's being asked, so it gets answered before the deadline.
