MIT Health, MIT's campus health center, embedded Notable's Sidekick assistive AI agent into prior-authorization submissions to the Carelon portal; it pre-assembles clinical packets and answers payer questions from the chart. Notable reports authorizations now average about 6 minutes, an estimated 45% reduction from ~11 minutes, across 750+ runs.
Reported outcomes
Outcomes are reported exactly as stated by the source; we have not independently audited them.
How it works
- Puts relevant orders and chart context in one place.
- Pre-assembles the clinical packet for the payer.
- Answers payer clinical questions using context from the patient's chart.
- Errors (e.g., missing allergies) create human tasks with clear instructions.
Risks & compliance
- PHI
- Clinical answers to payer questions should be reviewed by staff
Healthcare cases cover operational and commercial workflows. Nothing here is medical advice or a claim about a device's or drug's efficacy.
