The Problem

Prior auth is breaking independent practice.

Administrative overhead is the number-one reason physicians leave independent practice. These numbers explain why.

Time Lost
13 hrs

Prior Auth Burden

The average physician loses 13 hours per week, nearly two full workdays, to prior authorization paperwork and insurer phone holds. That is time not spent with patients.

Revenue Lost
$50k+

Denial Appeal Losses

Most practices let denied claims sit uncontested. The average independent practice loses $50,000 or more per year to appeals that were never written, revenue that was already earned.

Compliance Risk
$1.5M

Cloud AI = HIPAA Liability

Every cloud-based AI tool processing PHI requires a signed Business Associate Agreement. Most practices never verify this. The average cost of a healthcare data breach is $1.5M - a number that ends most independent practices. You are liable when something goes wrong.

How It Works

Up and running in a day. Saving time by day two.

No IT department needed. No cloud accounts. No HIPAA workarounds. Just a small device and a form your staff will use without hesitation.

Step 01

We Install a Small AI Device

Our team visits your office and installs a compact, medical-grade AI appliance on your local network. One-time setup takes a few hours. We handle everything.

Step 02

Staff Fill Out a Simple Form

No EHR integration required. Your front desk or MA enters patient information, diagnosis, requested procedure, and insurer into a clean web form, from any device on your network.

Step 03

Complete Letter in 30 Seconds

A clinically precise, insurer-formatted letter is ready to print or fax. Correct clinical language, correct format, guideline citations included, in less time than it takes to find the right fax number.

Runs entirely on local hardware. No internet connection required for AI processing. Patient data is never transmitted, never stored off-premise, and never accessible to us or anyone else.
