About This Webinar

CMS just passed its long-awaited Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F), which is poised to reshape prior authorization (PA) by improving PA processes and easing the burden on patients, health care providers, and payers alike.

With implementation deadlines rapidly approaching (some as early as 2026!), payers must ensure they’re complying with the rule’s requirements around PA transparency, turnaround times, interoperability, and accountability. And the countdown has already begun. Payers are racing towards compliance. But there’s a solution that can help them get ahead of regulatory compliance, and actually use compliance as a springboard for PA innovation.

This webinar is a unique opportunity to learn how forward-thinking payers are preparing for the implementation deadlines with AI-driven, intelligent prior authorization. Join our expert panel as they break down the final rule and how leading payers are using AI not just to comply, but to actually go beyond the basic requirements and transform utilization management (UM), ultimately driving better outcomes while reducing costs.

Attendees Will Learn

  • What’s ultimately included in the final rule–and crucial deadlines
  • Ways to get ahead of compliance (and effectively tackle the most common challenges)
  • How to use intelligent prior authorization to elevate and speed up your approach to meeting and even surpassing the new UM requirements
