Healthcare Automation

Your notes already have the evidence. We just submit it.

Prelude reads clinical documentation, extracts the medical justification payers require, and submits prior authorization requests automatically. What took 45 minutes now takes seconds.

Prior auth is the tax on practicing medicine.

Every treatment, every imaging order, every specialty medication requires a permission slip from insurers. Physicians spend more time justifying care than delivering it. Fax machines. Phone holds. Denied requests. Resubmissions. It's a system designed for another era.

  • 01
    Manual evidence gathering
    Staff dig through charts to find clinical justification payers need. The data exists, but finding it takes forever.
  • 02
    Fax-and-wait workflow
    Forms get faxed. Then you call. Then you wait. Average turnaround: days. Some take weeks.
  • 03
    Denials and resubmissions
    Incomplete evidence leads to denials. Each denial restarts the cycle, delaying patient care further.
  • 04
    Revenue impact
    Delayed auths mean delayed treatments, delayed billing, and patients who fall through the cracks.

From clinical note to approved auth.

Three steps. No fax machines. No phone queues. No digging through charts.

01

Read the clinical record

Prelude ingests clinical notes, lab results, and imaging reports. It understands medical context, not just keywords.

Patient encounter → structured evidence
02

Match to payer requirements

Each payer has specific criteria for each procedure. Prelude maps clinical evidence to the exact requirements, building a complete justification package.

Evidence → payer-ready submission
03

Submit and track

Authorization requests go out electronically. Prelude monitors status, flags issues, and handles follow-ups without human intervention.

Submission → approval in seconds

Built for the practices that need it most.

Enterprise PA tools cost six figures and take months to implement. Independent practices and small groups have been left behind. Until now.

Provider-first, not payer-first

Most PA tools are built for insurers to process claims faster. Prelude is built for doctors to get approvals faster. Different incentive, different product.

Works with your existing notes

No new documentation workflow. No special templates. Prelude reads whatever your scribe, your EHR, or your AI documentation tool already produces.

Live in days, not months

No enterprise sales cycles. No IT department required. Connect your practice management system and start submitting authorizations the same week.

CMS 2026 ready

Built for the new CMS-0057-F interoperability rules and the WISeR program. Compliance is a feature, not a future roadmap item.

Every treatment starts with a prior authorization. It shouldn't end there.

Prelude exists so doctors can focus on the patient in front of them, not the paperwork behind them. The era of faxed authorizations is ending.
