- Prior authorization is a highly manual insurance review process that creates administrative burden, care delays, staff burnout, and higher costs.
- Physicians spend an average of 14 hours per week on prior authorization tasks, and delays can lead to serious adverse patient outcomes.
- Treatline built a web app and backend on AWS to automate prior authorization workflows.
- The IDP layer uses Amazon Textract to extract text and structure from medical and insurance documents, Amazon Comprehend Medical for clinical entity understanding, Amazon Kendra and Amazon CloudSearch for retrieval, DynamoDB for metadata, and Amazon SNS and Amazon SQS for asynchronous processing.
- The criteria matching system uses Amazon SageMaker JumpStart with FLAN-T5 XXL to match medical summaries to payer criteria and improve approval workflows.
- The article states the platform can reduce peer-to-peer reviews by about 30% and reduce administrative time by about 70% in the first year.
- It also claims faster approvals, lower administrative burden, and improved patient care outcomes.
Architecture
Treatline's platform uses Amazon S3 and Amazon API Gateway for the web application and backend, Amazon Textract for OCR and structured extraction, Amazon Comprehend Medical for medical language analysis, Amazon Kendra and Amazon CloudSearch for retrieval, DynamoDB for metadata, Amazon SNS and Amazon SQS for asynchronous document processing, and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart with FLAN-T5 XXL for criteria matching against payer requirements.
