Prior Authorization Submission for Specialty Pharmacy Managers
Cut prior authorization submission time by 7 days for Specialty Pharmacy Managers.
The Problem
Prior auths for Specialty Pharmacy procedures sit in CareTend queues for days — the patient reschedules, the surgeon's OR time goes unused, and the practice eats the margin.
What We Build
AI checks payer-specific PA requirements, pulls the chart from CareTend, submits the PA with clinical justification, and tracks status — turnaround drops from 7 days to under 48 hours.

Frequently asked
How long does prior authorization submission take manually for specialty pharmacy managers?+
In most specialty pharmacy firms, prior authorization submission consumes hours per matter or per week that AI can absorb. The exact savings depend on volume, but firms with mature workflows typically see 7 days improvement within the first quarter after deployment.
Can AI handle prior authorization submission without losing accuracy?+
Yes — every workflow uses human-in-the-loop. AI does the deterministic 80% (data extraction, classification, routing); your specialty pharmacy manager keeps every judgment call. Nothing ships without a defined approval point.
Will this require switching from CareTend?+
No. The automation runs on top of your existing CareTend setup using its API or agent integration — no migration, no parallel system, no license changes. Your team keeps using CareTend exactly as before.
How quickly can a specialty pharmacy manager team deploy this?+
Most engagements ship the first working workflow in 2–4 weeks from kickoff: discovery call → fixed-price scope → build → review/refine. After that it runs on autopilot, with us monitoring for drift.
Is prior authorization submission automation worth it for a small specialty pharmacy firm?+
If your specialty pharmacy managers spend 5+ hours per week on prior authorization submission, the ROI is clear. The build pays back inside the first quarter at that volume — and the time savings compound, since the workflow keeps running once deployed.
What happens when CareTend or our process changes?+
Workflows are versioned and monitored. When CareTend pushes API changes or your firm changes process, we update the workflow within days — no rebuild required.
