1up Prior Authorization API

Streamline prior authorization with a centralized hub for prior authorization requests

Prior Authorization API

The current challenges 

Your utilization management team needs an automated and standardized approach to handle prior authorizations with in-network providers. Automating this process can lead to operational efficiencies, reduced provider burden, and improved patient care.

However, prior authorization today relies on disparate, manual intake channels, which puts a heavy burden on providers and often lacks the necessary supporting clinical documentation. This results in a greater administrative burden on your UM team, clinician burnout, and delayed or abandoned treatment for patients.

Automate prior authorization for in-network providers

Designed to meet CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F) requirements and leveraging industry standards, 1up’s Prior Authorization API automates the prior authorization process using a standard FHIR®-based API to connect in-network providers with your prior authorization rules and existing utilization management systems.

Our Prior Authorization solution enables provider partners to confirm whether prior authorization is necessary for a given service or procedure, discover specific prior authorization documentation requirements, and submit a prior authorization request with the required documentation to your utilization management team for review and receive a response.
