Prior authorization software fitted to your payer mix

Prior authorization eats around thirteen staff hours a week per physician, and the generic portal tools assume every practice fights the same battles. Yours doesn't.

The denials are getting worse, not better

Most physicians say denials have climbed over the last five years, and the majority now keep someone on staff working auths almost full time. CMS started requiring insurers to report their metrics in 2026, but reporting a problem isn't the same as fixing it on your floor.

Your auths aren't a generic queue

The volume that buries your office isn't random — it clusters around specific payers, specific procedures, specific documentation gaps that trigger the same denials again and again.

  • One payer demands a clinical detail your template never prompts for.
  • Approvals stall because nobody can see which requests are aging.
  • The same denial reason repeats and nothing learns from it.
  • Staff re-enter patient data the EHR already holds.
A denial you've seen a hundred times shouldn't surprise your front office every single time.

Software that knows your book

The people running your auths already know exactly where the friction is. APLINO captures that in a Blueprint, ships an MVP your team uses in weeks to surface aging requests and prompt the documentation each payer wants, and keeps engineering alongside you — compliant and connected to your systems — as the payer mix shifts.
