AuthAI
Overview
Availity AuthAI is an advanced artificial intelligence tool designed to transform the prior authorization process for healthcare providers and health plans. It delivers real-time, policy-aligned recommendations, not predictions, ensuring every decision is traceable, auditable, and grounded in the health plan’s medical criteria. By leveraging transparent, analytical AI, AuthAI accelerates prior authorization decisions, often in seconds for routine cases, significantly reducing administrative waste, care delays, and provider abrasion. The platform is built on a FHIR®-native infrastructure with robust API connectivity, supporting seamless interoperability and compliance with mandates like CMS-0057-F. This allows providers to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on patient care, while payers maintain transparency and control over utilization management.
