Althea Smart EHR includes a built-in prior authorization workflow for elective surgical procedures, custom orthotics, and DME, with submission tracking, approval status, expiration date alerts, and payer communication logs. Pre-authorization requirements are surfaced at scheduling so surgical cases are never scheduled without confirmed coverage.

Althea Smart EHR includes a prior authorization tracking dashboard that monitors auth status for every scheduled procedure, with automatic alerts when authorization is missing, expired, or approaching expiration. Staff can manage the auth workflow directly within the EHR without switching to payer portals.
