Inspiration

Prior Authorizations (PA) cost doctors valuable time with their patients. Surveys show that doctors spend 12-14 hours on these, and nearly a third of physicians report that waiting for PAs has led to serious adverse events.

What it does

Our system attempts to automate prior authorizations to reduce the workload.

How we built it

Using AWS, we built a pipeline that takes a recording of a doctor's appointment and intelligently submits a PA request to insurance providers. Within the pipeline, there are many interesting things to carry this out, like agentic web crawlers and document retrieval, intelligent form completion, and systems and checks to ensure that a PA gets accepted.

Challenges we ran into

We decided to push the limits of novel agentic workflows using orchestration platforms like Gas Town. Unfortunately, this type of system was very complex and had many issues to iron out.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The AWS services boot up.

What we learned

We learned that specification is very important, especially when vibe coding. If it wasn't specified, it is most likely wrong.
