Reducing the barriers of prior authorization

Cohere Health is using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the prior authorization process in healthcare, which often leads to delays in treatment and physician burnout, according to CEO Siva Namasivayam. By reviewing medical records, Cohere Health’s technology can predict whether a treatment will meet a payer’s requirements, reducing the time necessary for authorization decisions and potentially improving patient care. Namasivayam also highlights the importance of discussions centered on patient safety in the authorization process.
