Product Capabilities

Valer can be configured to identify highly targeted information regarding authorization requirements and/or services which are "no auth required." Valer has the ability to work with select payers to provide authorization requirements, "no auth required" alerts, and authorization submissions via real-time APIs (application programming interfaces) where available.

Valer comprehensively automates completion and submission of prior authorizations for 1,000+ unique payer fax forms and 75+ payer web portals.

Valer's form library maintains and updates over 1,000+ payer authorization fax forms across all service lines (diagnostic imaging, surgeries, procedures, chemo/infusion, medications, notice of admissions, DMEs, sleep, Worker's Comp). Valer's proprietary technology can add any new fax form for users typically within 24 hours to support authorizations and referrals.

Valer provides the ability for users to easily attach any relevant clinical documentation to a prior authorization for submissions. Valer supports various file formats needed for submission. Valer also captures documentation from payers regarding approval tracking codes, expiration dates, units of service, CPTs approved, which can be pushed directly back into EHRs/practice management systems to avoid manual data entry. Valer also has Epic's x275 clinical document exchange functionality live in production to directly exchange information from Epic to Valer and back.

Valer comprehensively SUBMITS prior authorizations across both fax and web portal modalities across all-payers and all service types. Valer provides ONE interface, deeply integrated with EHR workflows to automate both today's manual authorization submission and verification workflows.

Valer provides automated authorization status verification across 75+ payer web portals.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
Many hospitals, health systems, and IDNs have invested in billion dollar EMR/EMRs which are an extraordinary vehicle for clinical and billing functions -- but lack the ability to elevate automation in key business areas such as prior authorization. This is due to their lack of payer connections and the absence of advanced intelligent software. Together, Waystar brings the intelligence that powers today's EMR/EHR platforms and automation efforts.
Differentiators vs Competitors:
With nearly a decade in the business of automating prior authorizations, we are known for our internal expertise when it comes to payers, process change, and technology. We believe pushing the envelope in know-how across all 3 is what gives our clients the edge on automation. With more payer connections, more relationships with payers, and greater flexibility in accessing payer data we can access the best and most timely data. We not only seamlessly integrate with EPIC but offer full-stack integration capabilities or a powerful stand-alone application -- all because each patient access team is different. And powered across our Hubble platform (a blend of RPA, machine learning, NLP, and advanced auth rules) we are well positioned to power your automated enterprise.
Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
  • Single platform and payer portal consolidates payer management
  • Comprehensively submit, verify, manage prior authorizations and referrals
  • All payers and service lines
  • Continuous real-time payer updates
  • 2-way data integration with EHR systems
  • Real-time workflow visibility and reporting
  • Integrates with any EHR or billing system for seamless workflow
  • Clients using Epic, Cerner, Veradigm, Athenahealth, NextGen and more
Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • Valer focuses exclusively on automating submissions, status-checking, and verification with all payers- national, regional, local
  • Valer supports every service type, specialty, and care setting except formulary medications and dentistry
  • Valer integrated bi-directionally with any EHR or system of record
