ATHENAHEALTH WORKFLOW AUTOMATION

Turn every athenahealth referral into coordinated care.

Insight Health AI agents read inbound faxes and documents, match the patient, route referrals and prior authorization into the right athenahealth work queue, and follow each action through patient outreach and scheduling.

FLAGSHIP ATHENAHEALTH CUSTOMER

Built around the workflows specialty practices already use.

Coastal Health uses Insight Health AI agents alongside athenahealth workflows.

ONE CONNECTED WORKFLOW, THREE AI AGENTS

From inbound document to action in athenahealth.

Each agent owns a defined part of the workflow, while the practice keeps one shared view of status, ownership, and next steps.

01

AI document management

Classify inbound faxes and forms, extract the right information, match the patient, and route the document to the correct athenahealth work queue.

  • Referrals and medical records
  • Labs and imaging reports
  • Insurance and payer forms
02

AI referrals

Validate the packet, chase missing information, reach the patient, collect insurance details, and move the referral toward a booked appointment.

  • Patient and provider outreach
  • Referral status follow-up
  • Rule-based EHR scheduling
03

AI prior authorization

Assemble the clinical packet, submit through the supported payer channel, track status, and route exceptions to the right team member.

  • Pre auth and PA intake
  • Payer follow-up
  • Approval and denial routing
