Smarter benefits with AI and advanced tech

[Narrator] Patients and providers want healthcare to be as simple as possible, but prior authorizations can slow down the process, resulting in inconveniences like delayed approvals for medication.

Now, imagine if providers could submit a prior authorization request and get an answer in seconds, not hours or days without ever having to dig up supporting clinical information.

It's all possible with PreCheck Prior Authorization, a groundbreaking new capability from Optum Rx. With PreCheck Prior Authorization, authorization is tied to clinical data extraction from a provider's electronic medical records.

Here's how it works. First providers submit an electronic PA request in their electronic health record.

Then we assess whether the request is eligible for automation.

If so, we retrieve targeted relevant data from the provider's EMR to complete the clinical questions needed for the PA.

Finally, we analyze the question set and send an automatic approval if all clinical criteria are met.

The median turnaround time for this automatic PreCheck PA process?

Just 29 seconds on average compared to eight and a half hours in a standard PA process. That's good for the patient experience and good for outcomes.

It also results in much less administrative work, which is good for overloaded providers.

Our automatic PreCheck PA capabilities smooths out patient and provider experiences and ultimately helps improve care, getting medication into patient's hands more efficiently.
