Prior authorization
Throughput without a dedicated authorization team
Requirements determined, documentation assembled from the chart, submission filed in the payer's portal and chased to determination. Exceptions routed to a specialist.
Central is the operating layer for healthcare administration. AI agents execute prior authorization, patient access, eligibility, referrals and payer follow-up across your EHR, practice management systems and payer portals, and Wing's trained healthcare specialists complete the exceptions automation should not finish on its own.

The operating problem
Each provider you add generates more calls, more eligibility checks, more authorizations, more referrals and more payer follow-up. The conventional answer is to hire against that curve, in roles that are difficult to fill and expensive to retain. Operating capacity stays tied to headcount.
Central changes the relationship between the two. The volume of administrative work becomes something the organization executes, rather than something it staffs.
Physicians and their staff report spending an average of 13 hours a week on prior authorization alone, and 40% of physicians employ staff who work exclusively on it. Source: American Medical Association, annual prior authorization physician survey.
The operating model
Not a tool your staff have to operate. An accountable workflow, with a record of every action and a named owner for every exception.
Central picks work up where it already arrives, in the channels your organization already uses.
Requirements checked, documentation assembled, submissions filed, statuses tracked, systems updated.
No exception
The workflow runs to its conclusion and the system of record is updated automatically.
Exception
Multi-factor authentication, pended clinical review, denials, appeals and peer-to-peer scheduling, with the full case context attached.
The specialist's resolution returns to the automated path rather than back to your staff.
Every step is attributable and auditable, whether an agent or a person performed it.
Coverage
Most organizations begin with a single workflow, prove the operating model on it, and extend once it is running. Each is a managed outcome, not a feature your team configures.
01
Throughput without a dedicated authorization team
Requirements determined, documentation assembled from the chart, submission filed in the payer's portal and chased to determination. Exceptions routed to a specialist.
02
Capture demand outside business hours
Inbound calls answered and booked, insurance captured on the same call, and cancellations backfilled. Coverage does not stop at 5pm or at the edge of a shift.
03
Verified before the visit, not after the denial
Coverage, plan detail and patient responsibility confirmed ahead of the appointment, including the payers whose portals require a phone call.
04
Close the loop on referral revenue
Inbound referrals worked across fax, portal and phone into one queue, authorised, booked, and closed back to the referring provider.
05
Work the queue that ages fastest
Denials read, categorised and worked against filing deadlines, with appeals drafted and peer-to-peer reviews scheduled by specialists.
Worked example
The clearest demonstration of the model. Eight steps that today are split across staff, portals and phone queues, run as one accountable workflow.
An order enters from the EHR, a worklist or a referral. Central identifies payer, plan and the applicable policy.
The payer's current criteria are checked, including whether the request routes through a radiology or specialty benefit manager.
Clinical notes, imaging, prior therapy and conservative care are pulled from the chart and formatted to that payer's requirements.
Filed in the payer portal or through the available electronic channel, with attachments in the accepted format.
Re-checked against the payer's own turnaround commitment rather than left in a pending queue.
Multi-factor authentication, a pended clinical review, a denial or a peer-to-peer transfers to a Wing healthcare specialist with the full case context attached.
The specialist completes the step the payer requires: peer-to-peer, clinical documentation, or appeal letter, and marks it resolved.
The agent reads the outcome from the portal or the letter, logs the reference number and conditions, and writes the result back to the EHR.
