The Prior Auth Index

Custom Research Inquiries

The public Prior Auth Index is free to use. If you have a specific payer, market, reporting, denial, appeal, or transparency question, I can review whether the available public data is enough to answer it.

What a focused review can help with

Focused reviews work best when there is a clear payer, market, reporting issue, or transparency question to investigate using publicly available sources.

  • Reviewing a payer’s prior authorization publication status
  • Locating source links and reporting files
  • Summarizing available denial, appeal, and overturn data
  • Comparing a small group of payers or reporting entities
  • Identifying gaps, inconsistencies, or usability issues in public reporting
  • Turning raw payer reporting into a plain-English summary
  • Reviewing payer behavior or transparency patterns around a specific question

Examples of useful questions

These are examples of the kinds of questions that may fit a custom review. They are not fixed packages or standardized consulting services.

Can you review whether this payer has published prior authorization data?
Can you compare publication status across these payers?
Can you summarize what the available data shows about this plan’s denial and appeal reporting?
Can you help identify what is missing or unclear in this payer’s reporting?
Can you prepare a source-linked brief on a payer or market?

How inquiries work

1

Send a brief description of the payer, market, reporting question, or issue you want reviewed.

2

I’ll review whether the request fits the available public data.

3

If it does, I’ll respond with the likely scope, timeline, and review terms.

4

Research is based on publicly available sources and the limits of available reporting.

Have a payer or reporting question?

Send the payer, market, reporting question, or issue you want reviewed. I’ll respond with whether the available public data can support the review and what the likely scope would be.
