Prior Authorization Submission for Gastroenterology Practice Managers with athenahealth

athenahealth Gastroenterology Practice Manager Gastroenterology

The Problem

Prior auths for Gastroenterology procedures sit in gMed gGastro queues for days — the patient reschedules, the surgeon's OR time goes unused, and the practice eats the margin.

What We Build in athenahealth

AI checks payer-specific PA requirements, pulls the chart from gMed gGastro, submits the PA with clinical justification, and tracks status — turnaround drops from 7 days to under 48 hours. Purpose-built for teams running athenahealth — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

athenahealth Integration Approach

1

Audit your athenahealth configuration

We map the specific athenahealth objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your gastroenterology practice.

2

Build on the athenahealth API or agent

Integration happens inside athenahealth — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in athenahealth with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
