## The Problem

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

## What We Build in eClinicalWorks

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

## eClinicalWorks Integration Approach

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