## The Problem

Prior auths for CDI & Coding procedures sit in 3M 360 Encompass queues for days — the patient reschedules, the surgeon's OR time goes unused, and the practice eats the margin.

## What We Build

AI checks payer-specific PA requirements, pulls the chart from 3M 360 Encompass, submits the PA with clinical justification, and tracks status — turnaround drops from 7 days to under 48 hours.

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current prior authorization submission process and identify where AI saves the most time.
2. **Build & integrate.** We build the workflow and connect it to the tools you already use — no software changes required.
3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
