Prior Authorization, Accelerated
Your patients can’t wait weeks for prior auth.
Digitalize end-to-end prior authorization, from detection to decision. Less time on hold. More time for patient care.
Benefits
What you gain with SwiftPA
For coordinators, clinical staff, IT, and leadership: measurable outcomes from the first module you deploy.
SwiftPA returns time to your team, by eliminating manual steps, speeding up approvals, and providing easy-to-consume platform to track prior authorization status in flight.
13+ hrs
of manual PA work recovered per 40 prior auths—scales with your volume (benchmark: ~40 PAs per physician per week)

Reclaim clinical time
Automated detection, documentation, and follow-up eliminate repetitive manual steps that consume ~20 minutes of physician and staff time per prior auth. Practices recover 13+ hours per 40 prior auths—scaling directly with your PA volume.
Accelerate patient access
Real-time submission and status tracking replace weeks of waiting and phone-tag, so treatment starts sooner.
Reduce burnout and rework
Coordinators spend less time on hold and re-keying data. Repetitive manual steps drop out of the daily workflow.
Deploy on your terms –
Modular architecture enables clients to use separate modules of SwiftPA independently or as a single end-to-end solution.
CHALLENGE
The manual burden behind every prior auth
For PA coordinators, ops managers, and clinical teams living the delay every day.
Coordinators juggle payer portals, fax, and phone holds—with little visibility into status while patients wait. Research shows most PAs are eventually approved (CAQH), but physicians report weeks of delay getting there. The bottleneck isn’t the decision—it’s the manual work in between.
- Multiple calls to payer portals to check PA requirements
- Documentation complied manually and submitted by fax
- 3-5 week wait with no status visibility
- Manual follow-ups, re-submissions, escalations
- Care team unaware; treatment delayed or cancelled
Journey
From order to approval, connected to your EHR
SwiftPA integrates with your EHR to detect requirements, pull clinical data, and track status—giving coordinators one PA work queue instead of scattered payer portals.
SwiftPA follows FHIR prior auth standards— Coverage Requirements Discovery checks if PA is needed, Documentation Templates & Rules pre-fills payer forms, and Prior Authorization Support submits to payers. Authorization runs first; if a payer denies, the denial path picks up below.
Authorization
✓ Approved → synced to EHR & queueProvider places an order
SwiftPA picks up EHR orders via FHIR or HL7 and routes PA work to your team.
PA requirement detected
Runs automatically; staff are alerted only when authorization is required.
Documentation auto-populated
Payer forms pre-fill from EHR data; coordinators review and confirm in minutes.
Electronic submission
FHIR R4 for compliant payers; assisted workflow with the same docs for all others.
Real-time dashboard
Live status, SLAs, and audit trail in one queue—no payer portal logins.
Payer decision
Approvals write back to the EHR when supported; denials continue below.
IF DENIED ↓
Denial & optimization
✓ Denial managed → insights improve future submissionsDenial flagged immediately
Denials surface in the queue with payer reason codes—no portal checks or fax callbacks.
Reason and gaps identified
Payer codes in plain language; missing documentation flagged before resubmission.
Appeal packet prepared
Clinical records assemble into a review-ready appeal packet for coordinators.
Peer-to-peer and optimization
Peer-to-peer prep ready for review; outcomes improve future submissions.
Choice
Pick the components you need. Add more anytime.
Ops leaders pilot one module; IT and leadership scale on a shared platform when ready.
SwiftPA is modular by design. Start with one capability (detection, submission, or appeals) and expand to full end-to-end automation when you’re ready. Every module integrates with your EHR and shares the same audit trail.

FAQ
Answers before you request a demo
Questions from coordinators, clinicians, IT, and executives, answered in one place.
SwiftPA is a provider-side prior authorization platform from Dash Technologies. It integrates with your EHR to detect PA requirements, pre-fill documentation, submit to payers, track status, and manage denials and appeals. Coordinators work from a dedicated PA queue; clinical teams stay in familiar systems. One product, one login, one audit trail.
No. SwiftPA is modular. Most teams start with detection plus a work queue for visibility, then add documentation automation, electronic submission, or appeals as readiness and payer mix allow. Every module shares the same EHR integration and audit history.
For payers without FHIR APIs, SwiftPA uses an assisted submission path with the same pre-populated documentation and status tracking. Coordinators see one consistent experience whether the payer is API-connected or not.
Yes. SwiftPA is HIPAA compliant. A BAA is included. PHI is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), stored only in US regions, with audit logging on every action. Enterprise SSO (Okta, SAML 2.0), MFA, and RBAC are supported.
Payer-side tools are built for insurers. SwiftPA is built for your organization: clinical teams, coordinators, and admins work in one queue tied to orders in the EHR. You get detection, submission, tracking, and appeals without juggling multiple payer logins or fax workflows.
Depending on your choice of deployment model, the connectivity between SwiftPA and your EHRs will be established as part of the implementation.
SwiftPA supports any of the three integration paths:
– SMART on FHIR app launch (where your EHR supports it)
– FHIR R4 APIs for automated data exchange
– HL7 v2 via interfacing engine of your choice (such as Mirth Connect)
SwiftPA flags denials immediately with payer reason codes, translates them into plain language, identifies missing documentation, and prepares an appeal packet. Peer-to-peer support and scheduling are surfaced for coordinators while clinical staff stay focused on patients.
SwiftPA is a modular and highly configurable platform that sits between your EHRs and payers/ clearinghouses. Depending on your environment and requirements from SwiftPA modules, the initial go-live may take as short as 3-4 weeks to a few months. We collaborate with you and your IT team throughout the process for complete transparency and decision making.
Get Started
Your staff shouldn’t be on hold with an insurer.
“We built SwiftPA after spending time embedded in provider organizations, watching staff spend their mornings on hold with insurers for requests that were approved most of the time anyway. We built the modular prior auth platform we wished those teams had.”
