Prior authorization agents.
Buy one. Skip the platform.

A prior authorization agent is a software agent — typically AI-powered — that handles a specific step in the prior authorization workflow. The most common production agents are Eligibility (verify beneficiary and provider), Intake (validate codes and inputs), Duplicate Request (detect repeats), Pre-Check (probability of approval), and Auto-Affirmation (issue the determination when criteria are clearly met). A well-architected PA system uses several agents in sequence — not one big LLM.

Traditional prior auth software is monolithic — one application that ingests a request, runs it through rules, and produces an output. Prior auth agents are decomposed: each agent owns one job, can be tested in isolation, and can be deployed independently. This is why agents can be sold and bought one at a time on marketplaces, where monolithic software cannot.

Five Aether One™ Agents are live on Microsoft Azure Marketplace today: Prior Auth Eligibility, Prior Auth Pre-Check, Prior Auth Duplicate Request, Prior Auth Intake, and Prior Auth Auto Approval. AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace, and Salesforce AppExchange listings are in onboarding.

Yes, by design. Each Aether One™ agent ships with its own deployment runtime, its own rule pack, its own audit trail, and its own integration patterns (FHIR, X12 278, REST). It calls into the customer's existing PA workflow rather than asking the customer to migrate to a new platform.

No. Auto-deny is architecturally prohibited across all Aether One™ agents. The Auto-Affirmation Agent issues affirmative determinations when criteria are clearly met. Cases that don't clear auto-affirmation are routed through the Non-Affirm Research Agent (Agent 871) to a human clinical reviewer. The architecture cannot be configured to skip the human on a clinical denial.

Single-agent deployments from Microsoft Azure Marketplace typically take 2–4 weeks: 1 week for the agent provisioning, 1–2 weeks for FHIR or X12 278 endpoint integration, and a final week for production validation. The complete platform (HIP One) takes 12–24 weeks; agents are the fast path to production AI in PA workflows.

Every Aether One™ agent emits an audit packet for every decision: rule pack version, evidence chain, agent reasoning trace, and regulatory citations. If a determination is later reversed (on appeal, on review, on audit), the audit packet shows exactly what the agent saw, which rule it applied, and why. This is the difference between explainable AI and the black-box LLMs that cannot stand up to a CMS audit.

Aether One™ Agents is the marketplace product line where Genzeon Platforms sells individual AI agents standalone — without requiring a full platform license. The same agents that run inside HIP One are productized as marketplace SKUs. The current catalog covers prior authorization, with utilization management, payment integrity, and clinical documentation agents in the roadmap.
