Prior Authorization
04 / 10

Submit prior auths without the click-work.

Submit prior auths, upload clinical attachments, answer payer-specific questions, and track status across payer portals.

Browser-based, no API required

One prior auth can mean logging into a portal, re-entering patient and procedure details, uploading clinical docs, answering payer-specific questions, then checking back for status. Asteroid turns that into a reusable workflow.

Workflow context

These workflows commonly involve payer authorization portals, utilization management platforms, radiology and pharmacy benefit management portals, and regional managed-care portals.

Submit, attach, answer, track.

Asteroid follows the same portal steps as a trained PA coordinator: login, enter patient and procedure details, upload clinical documentation, answer payer questions, submit, and capture the reference number.

What Asteroid returns

  • Submitted authorization request
  • Uploaded clinical attachments
  • Payer reference number
  • Submission confirmation
  • Current status
  • Timestamped evidence
  • Exception queue for missing information or follow-up questions

Before

  • Upload the same clinical docs repeatedly
  • Answer payer-specific questions manually
  • Copy reference numbers into spreadsheets
  • Check portal status one by one

After · with Asteroid

  • Submit request once
  • Portal steps run automatically
  • Clinical docs upload
  • Reference number is captured
  • Status and exceptions route back for review

Frequently asked questions

ePA platforms and clearinghouses cover the payers that adopted them. Everything else still lives in portals: payer-specific clinical questionnaires, attachment uploads, status tracking on utilization-management platforms, and the long tail of regional and IPA portals no rail reaches. That remainder is where the click-work concentrates. Browser agents run those portals directly (submission, clinical Q&A, attachments, and status) and write normalized results back to your queue.
