Dara provides guidance on payer documentation requirements—so clinic staff can submit prior authorizations in less time and with less rework.
Payers rarely notify clinics when requirements change. Dara monitors trends in denials and follow-up requests, flagging early signals when requirements may be changing so clinics can adjust before denials accumulate.
Prior authorization is a major source of administrative work for medical practices. Physicians and their staff spend hours each week managing requests, follow-ups, and documentation — time that could otherwise be spent on patient care. The burden contributes to provider burnout and leads to avoidable delays in treatment, even when care is ultimately approved.*
93% of surveyed physicians reported that prior authorizations delay patient care, and contribute to provider burnout.
Medical practices spend an average of ~13 hours per week per physician managing prior authorization tasks.
40% of practices report that staff work full time on prior authorization work. Some teams have at least 1 full-time equivalent dedicated solely to handling prior auths.
Clear requirements upfront help teams understand coverage expectations and prevent avoidable delays, so patients aren’t left waiting for care.
Before the visit, Dara surfaces likely coverage requirements upfront so providers know exactly what questions to ask and what information to capture to support approval.
After the visit, Dara helps care teams quickly check patient information against expected clinical documentation, catching gaps early and preparing complete submissions in a fraction of the time.
By reducing rework and follow-ups, Dara speeds up approvals and reduces delays to care. Dara also keeps patients informed along the way, giving them visibility into the insurance process.
Built with HIPAA compliance at its core, Dara keeps patient data safe through encryption and access controls. We use automated monitoring tools that provide real-time visibility into our security status.
