People Over Paperwork

We help care teams move faster and safer by replacing scattered faxes, emails, and portals with one HIPAA-aligned workspace.

Why We Exist

U.S. healthcare wastes hundreds of billions on administrative complexity every year. In workers' compensation, the problem is acute: a single authorization request can touch five organizations, three phone calls, and a fax machine before anyone acts on it.

Auth Hero exists to give that time and money back to patients and clinicians. One case file. One set of permissions. One audit trail. Everyone on the same page.

What We Build

Auth Hero is a secure, case-centric workspace for California workers' compensation. Documents, messages, tasks, and approvals live together on a shared case timeline with role-based access controls and audit-grade logging.

One shared case file

RFAs, referrals, imaging, and notes in one chronological timeline. No more digging through email chains.

Invite-only access

Granular, role-based permissions. Every view, download, and export is logged automatically.

No EMR rip-and-replace

Works alongside your existing systems. Share through secure links and email invites.

Built-in compliance

HIPAA technical safeguards, AES-256 encryption, and exportable audit trails by default.

Who We Serve

We serve every stakeholder in a workers' comp case. Clinics get faster turnarounds. Insurers get defensible audit trails. Employers stay informed without the phone tag. Attorneys get organized case files. Patients get visibility into their own care.

We are launching in California workers' compensation, then expanding to broader outpatient, network, and government settings.

Where We're Headed

We are building toward a future where healthcare authorizations happen in minutes, not weeks. Where every stakeholder on a case sees the same information at the same time. Where compliance is invisible because it is built into the workflow.

By removing the friction between clinics, insurers, employers, attorneys, and patients, we shift time and money back into actual treatment and help injured workers recover faster.
