## The Problem

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

## What We Build in Waystar

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

## Waystar Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Waystar configuration.** We map the specific Waystar objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your revenue cycle practice.
2. **Build on the Waystar API or agent.** Integration happens inside Waystar — 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 Waystar with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
