The premise
PA denials waste enormous clinician time, and most appeals are too generic to win. AI can generate appeal letters tightly anchored to the insurer's own coverage criteria — turning vague medical justification into a checklist match.
What AI does well here
- Map the patient's case to specific coverage criteria
- Cite peer-reviewed evidence for the requested treatment
- Generate a structured letter (criteria → evidence → conclusion)
- Spot weak arguments that won't survive review
What AI cannot do
- Verify clinical facts about the patient
- Replace the peer-to-peer review where decisions actually flip
- Predict insurer behavior outside their published criteria
