Prior Authorization agents · live now
Five agents. One workflow. Buy what you need.
Each agent is a productized SKU with a fixed scope, an SLA, and a published API. Use one. Use all five. Compose them with whatever PA stack you have today.
Agent · HIP One Prior Auth Eligibility · live on Azure Marketplace Prior Auth Eligibility
Determines whether a PA is even required for the requested service, member, and benefit plan — before a clinical reviewer ever touches the case. Eliminates the "we shouldn't have asked for this" cohort entirely.
| Inputs | CPT/HCPCS · ICD-10 · Member ID · Plan · Place of service |
| Outputs | required | not_required · evidence trail · cite |
| Latency | < 600ms · 99.95% SLA |
Agent · HIP One Prior Auth Pre-Check · live on Azure Marketplace Prior Auth Pre-Check
Horizontal administrative pre-screening across all service categories. Validates required fields, NCD/LCD scope, MAC jurisdiction, ordering physician PECOS status, and submission completeness — before the case reaches clinical review.
| Outcome categories | pass · admin_reject · clinical_route |
| Admin rules engine | Pure rule eval · zero compiled per-category code |
| Adds new category in | ~1 markdown file + 1 mapping row |
Agent · HIP One Prior Auth Duplicate Request Prior Auth Duplicate Request
Detects duplicate, near-duplicate, and re-submitted PA requests across timeframes, providers, and submission channels. Prevents the same case from being reviewed three times by three different nurses.
| Match dimensions | member · service · provider · date window · channel |
| Decision modes | block · merge · escalate · pass-through |
| Typical reduction | 8–14% of intake volume |
Agent · HIP One Prior Auth Intake Prior Auth Intake
Converts every inbound PA submission — FHIR PAS, X12 278, fax, portal upload, email PDF, NCPDP SCRIPT — into a normalized, structured case file with provenance to the source document for every extracted field.
| Channels | FHIR PAS · X12 278/275 · Fax · Portal · Email · NCPDP |
| Extraction | Diagnoses · procedures · medications · labs · imaging |
| Output | Normalized case schema · field-level provenance |
Agent · HIP One Prior Auth Auto-Approval · flagship Prior Auth Auto Approval Agent
The auto-affirmation agent — the only Aether One™ agent that can render a positive decision without a human in the loop. Operates against pre-published, signed rule packs (LCD/NCD, MCG/InterQual, payer-specific). Every approval ships with a full audit trail and a parallel non-affirm scout that can override in real time.
| Decision authority | Affirm only · never denies |
| Dual Verification Gate | Auto-affirm + Non-affirm scout in parallel |
| Auto-affirm rate (ESI) | Up to 35% of eligible cases · 9-criterion matrix |
| Rule pack format | Versioned · signed · NCD-traceable |
| Today's deployment | ESI · CMS WISeR · NJ · v3.0.0 rule pack |
More PA agents · in progress
Beyond the five live PA agents, the same productized model extends to additional Prior Authorization SKUs in development — including QA, multi-channel submission, outcome-aligned payment, appeals management, and quality-measure evidence extraction. Each will ship as an individual SKU on Microsoft Azure Marketplace, with rollout to additional marketplaces as they come online. Specifics are shared with qualified counterparties under NDA.
