# What will AGI do for Prior Authorization Workflows?

## Overview

Healthcare providers and their billing teams lose significant hours manually securing payer approvals before delivering treatments or prescribing medications. The prior authorization process forces clinical and administrative staff to translate patient charts into payer-specific forms, cross-referencing complex medical necessity criteria against disjointed clinical notes. This friction directly delays patient care and inflates overhead costs for the practice.

The difficulty stems from the adversarial nature of payer-provider interactions and the constant churn of clinical guidelines. Payers frequently update their authorization rules, portal interfaces, and required documentation without standardization, meaning a workflow that succeeds one week fails the next. Extracting the exact evidence required to prove medical necessity demands clinical comprehension that standard rules engines cannot execute.

Traditional automation relies on rigid robotic process automation and standard electronic health record integrations that break immediately when payers alter their web portals or introduce subtle changes to coverage policies. Because existing software cannot parse unstructured clinical narratives to dynamically match shifting payer criteria, human operators must still manually read charts, assemble faxes, and call insurance representatives to secure approvals.
