Automates prior authorization in healthcare

About Cohere Health

Cohere Health improves the prior authorization process in healthcare, which requires providers to get approval from health plans before delivering certain services. Their platform, Cohere Unify, automates and streamlines these requests by integrating with electronic medical records and using technologies like optical character recognition and machine learning. This approach allows for faster decision-making and reduces delays in patient care. The goal is to make the prior authorization process more efficient, benefiting healthcare providers, health plans, and patients.
