    Why now
    CMS 2026 rules force payers to respond in 72h — clinics need speed on their side.

    The problem

    Prior auth eats 14 hrs/provider/week. Cohere/Availity target payers; the clinic side is still fax + phone.

    The wedge

    Start with 1 specialty (oncology infusions), integrate Epic/Athena, pay-per-approved-auth.
