Automated RamSoft Prior Authorization Tracking

Every morning, WebRun opens RamSoft, finds studies with pending or expiring prior authorizations, logs the status of each to a Google Sheet tracker, and posts a prioritized list to Slack so your authorization team can chase payers and keep exams on schedule.

In short

How do I track and manage prior authorizations for imaging studies automatically?

WebRun opens RamSoft every morning, finds every study with a pending or expiring prior authorization, and updates a Google Sheet tracker before posting a ranked worklist to Slack. Your auth team arrives with a sorted action list, from most urgent to least, so no approved slot is lost to a lapsed auth.

  • Auth team starts each day with a ranked, ready-to-action worklist
  • Expired or lapsing authorizations flagged before the exam date
  • Approved auths automatically closed out of the tracker each morning

Questions, answered

Will it contact the payer or patient about the authorization?

No. WebRun builds an internal worklist for your auth team only. Any calls or submissions to payers or patients must be made by a staff member who reviews the list first.

How does it prioritize the worklist?

It sorts by the number of days until the scheduled exam, so the most time-sensitive authorizations always appear at the top for your team to act on first.

What if an authorization is approved overnight?

Each morning run reads the live authorization status from RamSoft, so any approvals that came in overnight are marked closed and excluded from the day's worklist automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
