Referral Management & Loop Closure for Prior Authorization Specialists with Availity

Run referral management & loop closure on autopilot inside Availity.

Availity Prior Authorization Specialist Utilization Management

The Problem

Incoming Utilization Management referrals sit in fax queues and CoverMyMeds work lists, and outgoing referrals die without loop closure — both cost the practice revenue and clinical quality.

What We Build in Availity

AI triages incoming referrals by acuity, schedules them into open slots in CoverMyMeds, and chases outgoing referral loop closure with consulting providers — no referral gets lost. Purpose-built for teams running Availity — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

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