Staff relied on habit.
BoldBellowsAuthorization tracking for offices that schedule first and worry about approval later
Medical prior authorization workflow automation that follows each request to a decision
Whether a service needs prior authorization, and what the payer wants to see, varies by payer and by plan and changes over time, so a route that assumes one rule for everyone will be wrong for someone. BoldBellows records the patient, the planned service, the payer and the plan before a request is started, looks up the requirement in a table your team maintains for each payer and asks a person whenever that table has no answer, then builds the route around your orders: when a procedure or study is ordered or scheduled, the route checks the requirement table, opens a case if one applies, pulls the documents the payer asks for from the chart into a packet, a staff member reviews it and submits it through the payer's portal or the electronic route that payer supports, the reference number and dates are recorded, status is checked at the intervals you set, an approval is attached to the booked visit, a denial or request for more information goes to the clinician with its deadline and open cases are listed by how close the procedure date is.

Chapter 01 the maybe-it-needs-approval problem
A procedure booked before approval is a bill waiting to be disputed
Staff find out whether a service needs authorization by remembering, or by phoning the payer, or by discovering the answer after the claim is denied. The packet is assembled by hand from the chart, and the payer's request for more information arrives a week later in a fax or portal message nobody was watching. Meanwhile the procedure date approaches. Every payer has its own form, its own channel and its own idea of what a complete request looks like, and the rules shift without much warning.
The first time a scheduled study was held for a missing approval, instead of performed and disputed, the coordinator trusted the list.
Packets built from scratch
Each request started cold.
Requests for information missed
They arrived in a portal.
Before
After
Before
- A second delivery makes a second authorization case
- A procedure is scheduled before anyone checks the plan
- A payer's request for more information sits unread in a portal
After
- The authorization case recognizes its own work through the patient, the service and the payer's reference number
- The requirement is checked when the order arrives
- Every open case shows its status and the date it is due
Chapter 02 How it works
How an order becomes a case tracked to a decision
An event becomes an authorization case in three stages, each with its own evidence.
Judge before acting
Before anything is prepared for the authorization case, the Medical Practice patient event is checked against the agreed admission rule.
Check, open, pack
The requirement is checked, a case opened and the packet gathered.
Submit, track, attach
A person submits, status is tracked and approvals attach to the visit.
Platform facts behind Medical Practice prior authorization
- Prior authorization differs by payer: Whether a service needs prior authorization, and what a payer wants to see, varies by payer and by plan, so the rules live in a table the practice maintains instead of in the code.
- Rules live in a table: Because requirements change, they are kept in a table staff edit and not in the build, so an update never needs a rebuild.
- Replay safety: Because the patient, the service and the payer's reference number is stored with each record, replaying an event leaves the authorization case unchanged if the work exists.
Chapter 03 What ships in the build
How the authorization build is made of tables, packets and clocks
The route grows in three steps: Basic, then Branch, then Guardian.
Event triage
Looks at each Medical Practice patient event and chooses between act, wait and discard, with notes.
Stable identity ledger
A register of Medical Practice items and their prior authorization results, consulted before each write so repeats change nothing.
Approved-fields list
Keeps one reviewed list of fields that may reach the authorization case and refuses additions without sign-off.
Requirement table
Lists which services need approval for each payer and plan.
Packet assembler
Collects the chart documents each payer asks for.
Follow-up timing sheet
Sets how often each payer is checked.
Authorization ledger
Compares cases opened with answers received.
Procedure-date monitor
Lists cases with the visit date closing in.
Operations board
Gives the team one place to see blocked work between Medical Practice and the authorization case.

Chapter 04 Who this fits
Aimed at cardiology practices that want to keep authorizations moving: check whether a plan requires one, assemble the packet the payer asks for, track every submission to an answer and attach approvals to the booked visit
Coordinators want fewer packets built from nothing, and everyone wants the approval in hand before the date.
Authorization coordinator
"Stop building packets by hand."
Packets arrive assembled.
Scheduler
"Book with confidence."
Approval status shows on the visit.
Clinician
"Answer only what is needed."
Requests come with the deadline.
Practice manager
"See what is pending."
Open cases are ranked by date.
Biller
"Avoid denials for no approval."
Reference numbers are recorded.
Patient
"Not be surprised."
I am told if a visit must wait.
Chapter 05 The options
What a sticky-note list of procedures waiting on a payer's answer, a zap and an authorization route that checks the requirement, builds the packet and tracks to a decision each do for the authorization case
Each can store a reference number. Only one knows when a plan requires approval, assembles the packet and follows it to a decision.
| Question | A sticky-note list | Habit and memory | Our authorization route |
|---|---|---|---|
| What starts the work | An admin on a busy day | Anything the trigger matches | Only changes on your in-scope list |
| How identity is decided | Checked against old notes | A lookup that may return several | Patient, service and payer's reference number |
| What reaches the authorization case | A handwritten note turned digital | The default field set | A tracked case with a packet and a visit date |
| After an uncertain result | An email thread to sort it out | Fails quietly | Uses the patient, the service and the payer's reference number to settle what already exists |
A slow event catches up
A late Medical Practice notice is compared with the stored checkpoint; anything older than the current authorization case is closed with a note.
A payer changes what it requires after the table was last updated
A request returned for a new reason is flagged to the coordinator, the table is corrected once and later cases follow the new rule. It searches the authorization case on the patient, the service and the payer's reference number, weighs what it finds against the plan and logs the verdict. Only when nothing is found does the route make a new authorization case.
The patient, the service and the payer's reference number links each Medical Practice record to its the authorization case authorization case for the life of the route.

Chapter 08 Getting started
What you supply to begin
Approved, revocable access to the Medical Practice side
Your current list of services and payers that need approval, access to the chart documents a packet draws on and the portals or channels your coordinator uses
The Medical Practice events and object types you want included
Which patient events are urgent and which can wait
The current owner of each the authorization case area the route will write to
Notes on any past problems between Medical Practice and the authorization case
Chapter 09 Trust
Access you can revoke, data you can name
Scope is the security boundary: Medical Practice fields for prior authorization are named in writing, and nothing else is requested.
Clean separation
Medical Practice keeps doing what it does and the authorization case keeps doing what it does; the connection between them is the only new thing.
Scoped, revocable access
Scopes are reviewed with you before launch and again at handover.
Allowlist, not blocklist
New fields in Medical Practice do not flow into the authorization case until someone adds them to the map on purpose.
Idempotent by design
The same event processed twice gives the same result in the authorization case, because the patient, the service and the payer's reference number decides create or update.
Minimal logging
Logs hold identifiers, times and error types, not your customer content.
Full handover
Handover includes the rules, the owners and the repair steps in one PDF.
"Authorization is mostly waiting, so the build spends its effort on making sure nothing is forgotten while you wait."

Chapter 11 Questions
Authorization questions coordinators ask
A handful of honest answers before you spend anything.
Can Zapier alone run Medical Practice prior authorization?
Authorizations that are started in time, submitted with the right packet and tracked to an answer is something a zap does well. It does not know when a plan requires approval, gather the right documents or follow an answer through. If those matter to you, the build is the right fit; if not, we will say a zap is enough.
Who decides whether an authorization is needed?
The requirement table your team maintains for each payer and plan; the payer has the final word.
Does the route submit requests alone?
No, a staff member reviews each packet before it is submitted.
Can it submit through any payer portal?
Only where a supported electronic route exists; otherwise it prepares the packet for your coordinator.
What if a payer asks for more information?
The request is routed to the clinician with the deadline and the case history.
How are approvals linked to visits?
The reference number and approved dates are attached to the booked visit.
Does it make clinical judgments about necessity?
No, it assembles and tracks, and clinicians make every clinical decision.
Who picks the fields for prior authorization in Medical Practice?
Included. The Medical Practice fields behind prior authorization are mapped on paper first, and changes to the map are agreed with you in writing.
Will you build prior authorization around our policy rather than a template?
Yes. Owners, amounts, statuses and exceptions can all shape Medical Practice prior authorization. It starts at $1,260.
How do you react to a Medical Practice update?
You get a list of the interfaces we rely on. When one shifts, the affected records hold and you are told. Later maintenance is quoted on its own. Related searches this service covers include custom medical prior authorization workflow automation.
