Prior Authorization Submission for Medical Coding Managers with Optum CAC

Optum CAC Medical Coding Manager CDI & Coding

The Problem

Prior auths for CDI & Coding procedures sit in 3M 360 Encompass queues for days — the patient reschedules, the surgeon's OR time goes unused, and the practice eats the margin.

What We Build in Optum CAC

AI checks payer-specific PA requirements, pulls the chart from 3M 360 Encompass, submits the PA with clinical justification, and tracks status — turnaround drops from 7 days to under 48 hours. Purpose-built for teams running Optum CAC — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Optum CAC Integration Approach

1

Audit your Optum CAC configuration

We map the specific Optum CAC objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your cdi & coding practice.

2

Build on the Optum CAC API or agent

Integration happens inside Optum CAC — 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 Optum CAC with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
