Authorized Visit Balance Agent

No patient runs past an authorization, because extensions are requested early with the right documentation.

Authorized Visit Balance Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Patients run out of authorized visits in the middle of treatment, and the clinic finds out when a claim is denied. The agent reads each active plan, the number of visits authorized and used, and the next scheduled visits. When a patient is within two visits of the limit, it checks the chart for medical necessity and drafts an extension request with progress notes and goals. If the payer asks for more information, it adds the missing note and resubmits for approval. It tracks the decision and updates the schedule. Edge case: an authorization that expires by date before the visit count runs out.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It counts visits and expiry date against the authorization and treats two visits or 14 days before either limit as the time to request more.

  • Request more at 2 visits left or 14 days to expiry
  • Use only chart facts, never invent progress
  • Pause scheduling past the limit until approved
  • Follow up with the payer after 5 days

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Visit and day triggers (default 2 visits, 14 days)
  • Payers and their forms
  • Follow-up days (default 5)
  • Who is notified

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Clinician approves each extension request
  • Clinician approves any change to the treatment plan

Hard limits

  • Never submit documentation without the clinician's approval
  • Do not exaggerate progress

It stops when

  • Done: extension approved or the patient discharged
  • Stop: the payer denies and the clinician decides on appeal or self-pay

An example run

What happensA patient has 12 of 12 authorized visits scheduled to finish soon, with 2 left. The agent drafts an extension for 6 more with the latest range of motion scores. The clinician approves. The payer asks for a functional goal, so the agent adds it, the clinician approves a resubmission, and the payer approves 6 visits.
