This startup says its AI can speed insurance approval of health treatments
Briefly

A June survey by the American Medical Association revealed that 90% of physicians believe prior authorization processes negatively impact patient outcomes, with many reporting serious adverse effects.
The KFF study highlighted that Medicare Advantage insurers submitted an average of 1.7 prior authorization requests per enrollee in 2022, resulting in a total of 46 million requests.
Despite research showing that over 92% of prior authorization requests are ultimately approved, the process causes delays that affect patients, practitioners, and insurers alike.
Startup Anterior aims to streamline prior authorization through AI technology, helping insurance companies expedite the review process and reduce the time spent on approval.
