About PriorAI

AI that fights back against prior auth denials

PriorAI is an autonomous prior authorization agent built on FHIR R4, Da Vinci PAS, and the A2A protocol. It eliminates the #1 administrative burden in US healthcare โ€” prior authorization. Physicians waste 13 hours/week on PA paperwork, and insurers use automated AI systems to deny claims faster. PriorAI puts clinical-grade, standards-compliant capabilities back into the physician's hands.

โš ๏ธ The Prior Authorization Crisis

The administrative burden of manual prior authorization delays patient care and burns out clinical staff:

๐Ÿš€ Core Clinical Capabilities

PriorAI is equipped with an advanced autonomous reasoning pipeline that performs 13 essential clinical functions:

FHIR Ingestion: Ingests patient bundles containing conditions, medications, labs, and encounters.
Clinician Intake Form: Physician-friendly clinical UI, bypasses raw JSON input.
Step Therapy Detection: Identifies and validates previous formulary trial and failures.
Necessity Argument Construction: Synthesizes medical arguments aligned to criteria.
Submission-Ready Letters: Complete letters with NPI, ICD-10 codes, and clinical rules.
P2P Appeal Rebuttal: Rebuts specific insurer denial codes (AUTH-001, etc.) directly.
Da Vinci PAS Compliant: Outputs compliant electronic Claim and DocumentReference FHIR resources.
Confidence Scoring: Live 0-100 score predicting likelihood of immediate payer approval.
CMS-0057-F Urgency: Automated flagging of urgent cases for statutory 72h review.
Hallucination Verification: Fact-checking validation engine checking letters against raw records.
Documentation Gap Analysis: Discovers and highlights clinical missing points.
Iterative Improvement: Live re-evaluation as doctors provide missing context.
Multi-Key Rotation: Fallback routing to ensure near 100% API uptime.

๐Ÿ”ฅ FHIR R4 Standard Interoperability

PriorAI is built on the HL7 FHIR R4 (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard โ€” the CMS-mandated interoperability format. This ensures our agent can ingest clinical data from any modern Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.

We use FHIR resources including Patient, Condition, MedicationRequest, MedicationStatement, Observation, Encounter, and Practitioner to build the complete clinical context required for a Prior Authorization โ€” eliminating manual data entry.

๐Ÿฆ… HL7 Da Vinci PAS Compliance

The Da Vinci Prior Authorization Support (PAS) implementation guide is at the core of our submission engine. It enables fully electronic exchange of PA requests between providers and payers, replacing manual faxing and phone calls.

Our agent generates compliant Claim, DocumentReference, and Provenance resources that follow the PAS profiles, ensuring high interoperability with payer systems and reducing administrative overhead by up to 90%.

โš–๏ธ CMS-0057-F Federal Urgency Compliance

PriorAI fully implements the 2026 CMS-0057-F rule by automatically scanning intake notes for qualifying clinical emergencies. If life, health, or recovery is threatened, the agent flags the request for 72-hour expedited review under Federal law, forcing insurers to comply with the mandated 72h decision window.

๐Ÿค– Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol

PriorAI implements the A2A Protocol v1.0 for autonomous agent communication. This enables our agent to be discovered and utilized by any A2A-compliant healthcare platform, including the Prompt Opinion Marketplace.

By following the Agent Discovery (/.well-known/agent.json) and Task Execution specs, PriorAI supports both JSON-RPC 2.0 and HTTP+JSON interfaces, ensuring seamless integration with orchestration platforms.

๐Ÿ”’ Security, HIPAA, & Zero-PHI Compliance

PriorAI is designed with a strict clinical-first security model. We enforce a Zero-PHI (Protected Health Information) storage policy. All patient data processing is done in-memory within ephemeral sandbox environments. No patient records or generated prior authorization documents are ever persisted to disk.

Furthermore, all patient profiles used for testing, demonstrations, and validation are 100% synthetic, simulated using Synthea. PriorAI operates in absolute alignment with HIPAA requirements, securing physician peace of mind.
