Auth Hero is building the infrastructure layer between clinics and carriers. One workspace where every party on a case collaborates in real time, starting with California's $15B workers' comp market.
U.S. healthcare wastes $760-935B annually. Roughly 22 cents of every dollar goes to administration. In California workers' comp, the number is worse: nearly 50 cents of every dollar never reaches patient care.
Medical records are fragmented across faxes, emails, EMRs, and carrier portals. Patients are locked out entirely. The result: delays, denials, disputes, and billions in waste.
The timing is right. UR/IMR deadlines and MTUS standards demand auditable, time-boxed processes. The 21st Century Cures Act requires interoperable EMR data. Patients expect transparency. Buyers demand HIPAA-ready infrastructure. Auth Hero sits at the intersection of all four trends.
Instead of every party maintaining their own silo, Auth Hero gives clinics, insurers, employers, attorneys, and patients one shared record per case. We start with the hardest market to build defensibility, then expand.
All stakeholders, one rail
Patients, clinics, insurers, employers, and attorneys collaborate on the same case timeline with role-based access.
Audit-ready by design
Immutable logs, granular permissions, and defensible exports. HIPAA technical safeguards are built in, not bolted on.
Network effects at the case level
Each case pulls in more stakeholders. As clinics adopt, carriers get real-time visibility across their entire provider network.
California beachhead, then expand
Solve the most administratively burdened system first. Expand to U.S. private healthcare and the ~$265B administrative complexity market.
U.S. administrative complexity tied to records & access
CA WC + private payer-provider workflows
3-5 year conservative capture
Full platform live and in production: case-centric workspace with documents, tasks, RFAs, referrals, messaging, and audit logging. HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with role-based access and end-to-end encryption.
Onboard initial clinics, validate workflow fit, and measure time-to-value on real cases.
Strategic partnerships with California workers' comp carriers for network-wide visibility.
Scale across California WC with analytics, automation (OCR, routing), and integrations.
Expand beyond workers' comp into broader outpatient and private payer workflows.
