RCM & Prior Auth AI
B

basys.ai

basys.ai develops AI software for prior authorization, utilization management, clinical auditing, and payment integrity. Its platform reads medical records and payer policies, identifies relevant criteria, and produces review outputs with supporting evidence and reasoning. Provider workflows help teams determine what documentation an authorization request needs, while payer workflows support review and communication of coverage decisions.

The product suite also addresses concurrent and retrospective utilization review, discharge planning assistance, and detection of possible fraud, waste, and abuse. Intake can begin through EHR connections, APIs, portals, or fax workflows, depending on the offering. A jointly marketed solution with Smart Data Solutions names Epic integration and combines intake, policy analysis, review assistance, and communication.

The company offers cloud deployment and local containerized execution. Its stated approach includes version control, human review, and audit trails to support use in healthcare administration. In March 2026, basys.ai announced a partnership with ePathUSA on a CMS medical record review pilot, describing tools intended to assist human reviewers.

Buyers include health plans, provider organizations, and administrative partners seeking to reduce manual review work. The current site gives accuracy and automation claims, but detailed evaluation methods and product-specific pricing remain limited. Enterprise access and final deployment scope are arranged through a sales discussion.

Capability Axes

An AI Health Index grade measures what a buyer can verify from public sources on the date shown. It is not a rating of how good the product is. A vendor can build an excellent system and grade low on an axis because it publishes nothing an outsider can check. How grades read

AI Capability
AA on AI CentralityThe artificial intelligence is the product. Remove the model and there is nothing left to sell.
Vendor Published

AI interprets medical documentation and payer criteria across the core authorization and review workflows. The platform correlates patient information with policy requirements, identifies missing evidence, and generates reasoning for review outputs. Related modules apply pattern detection and risk scoring to potential fraud, waste, and abuse. These are the central functions offered to health plans and providers, rather than optional additions to a conventional record system.

Intake channels, audit trails, and communication tools support the workflow, but removing the models would remove the principal automated interpretation and matching capabilities on which the product's value proposition depends.

DD on Autonomy and Oversight ModelNo oversight structure is published. An absolute claim that the system does not err grades here too, because a buyer who believes it will not build the review step that would catch a failure.
Vendor Published

Provider workflows explicitly retain human control and use AI as a supportive copilot. Payer workflows, however, describe automated approval and denial outputs with reasoning and audit trails. The payer page also promises decisions progressing without delays or gaps, without qualifying that claim. Detailed confidence thresholds, mandatory escalation conditions, prohibited actions, and review requirements before an adverse coverage decision remain unclear.

Oversight language on the provider side does not establish equivalent controls for the payer's automated decision path. The current material therefore combines human review claims with broad autonomous output language whose limits are incomplete.

CC on Model and Technology TransparencyThe architecture is described in general terms with nothing identified. Proprietary is asserted rather than explained.
Vendor Published

The architecture describes orchestration around language models, domain-specific agents, containerized execution, and version control intended to limit disruption from upstream model changes. Review outputs are tied to policy criteria and clinical evidence. This explains the broad system design and some operational choices. Specific production model names, algorithms, training datasets, model selection criteria, and evaluation thresholds remain unspecified. The available account therefore describes how the system is organized more clearly than the models that perform its current inference.

CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no model provider is named. Naming a hosting provider alone does not lift a record out of this band. Record the host in the note, because it matters for residency and breach scope, and grade on the model layer, which is the question this axis is named for.
Vendor Published

The platform uses domain-specific agents and language model orchestration, but the production foundation model providers are not identified. Local containerized execution and version control describe deployment choices rather than a complete list of organizations processing data. Named model suppliers, hosting processors, workflow-specific transfers, and downstream training or retention terms remain unspecified. The architecture therefore offers some insight into how components are arranged without establishing the complete supply chain or proving that every inference step avoids external services.

CC on Clinical and Operational EvidenceNamed customers, or vendor reported percentages with no method, denominator or reference standard. Scale of use is recorded here and is not treated as evidence of benefit.
Vendor Published

The current copilot claims 98% clinical accuracy, and the payer product claims a high proportion of automated approvals. The accompanying material does not establish the evaluation population, denominator, comparison method, or current model version behind those figures. Earlier diabetes work with Mayo Clinic and participation in a 2025 CMS competition concern separate contexts.

They do not establish performance for the present release without a link between the evaluated system and current product. A named pilot or competition selection can show engagement, while reproducible current outcome validation and independent confirmation of the headline metrics remain unspecified.

CC on AI Safety and PHI StewardshipGeneral assurances of privacy and security that do not answer the questions artificial intelligence raises: what is retained, what reaches a model, and what happens to it there.
Vendor Published

The stated safety approach includes human validation, monitoring, model stress testing, and measures intended to reduce fabricated information and bias. The company also describes evidence trails so reviewers can inspect how an output relates to source records. These controls are pertinent to authorization work, where an incorrect summary can affect a coverage decision.

Customer data retention, model training permissions, healthcare deidentification rules, and detailed procedures for investigating an AI safety incident remain unspecified. The operating claims therefore address review and reliability at a general level without completing the account of sensitive data use or containment of an unsafe output.

Regulatory and Compliance
CC on HIPAA and BAA PostureA status is stated but not supported: compliance is claimed, or business associate status stated, without the underlying document, including where the only privacy notice published covers the website rather than the service that handles patients. The mirror case grades here as well: a substantive privacy document that reaches the service, with no statement of business associate status anywhere and no scope position taken. One of the two elements the band above asks for is present, which is a grade below it and not a grade at the floor.
Vendor Published

The technology page claims HIPAA compliance and pairs it with encryption, access controls, and audit trails. These are relevant assurances for a product handling patient charts and authorization records. The claim is not an accessible business associate agreement or a government certification of the product. A readable customer BAA, service privacy terms, subcontractor obligations, and coverage across deployment options remain unspecified. The available information therefore describes a compliance posture without establishing the complete contractual protections governing customer PHI.

DD on Security Certifications and Trust CenterControls are asserted with nothing independent behind them, or nothing is published. Read the note before concluding anything: this is the grade most often corrected on a second pass, because assurance material frequently sits on a parent domain or inside an old announcement rather than on the product pages.
Vendor Published

Encryption, permissions based on user roles, and audit trails are part of the stated security design. They address access and traceability for medical records and authorization decisions. A named independent security attestation, auditor, reporting period, or accessible certificate remains unverified. The HIPAA wording on the technology page does not establish one. The current assurance is therefore based on described controls and compliance claims, without an independently inspectable artifact defining the security assessment's scope.

CC on FDA and Regulatory StatusNo device claim is made and the product is scoped accordingly. Most administrative and operational products sit here and are not penalized for it, because this axis grades the appropriateness of the positioning rather than possession of a clearance.
Vendor Published

The core products compare medical documentation with coverage policies, assist authorization requests, and support payment integrity reviews. These functions primarily address healthcare administration rather than independently diagnosing a patient or selecting treatment. Utilization management also includes discharge planning and care pathway assistance, making the exact workflow context relevant.

No specific diagnostic device indication or FDA clearance is established for the current products. Clinical information and medical necessity reasoning are part of the review process, but their presence alone does not establish a separate regulated diagnostic function or an authorization for one.

CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence is committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it. Most of the index sits here.
Vendor Published

A June 2025 announcement describes a proprietary framework with clinical safety checks, human decision checkpoints, ethical policy enforcement, and model drift monitoring. The company also participates in an NCQA working group concerned with healthcare AI standards. Those statements identify governance activities and an external standards discussion, but participation does not establish product certification.

A current reviewable framework artifact, production release mapping, or comparative subgroup results remain unverified. The available approach therefore goes beyond a generic fairness aspiration in its named processes while leaving their implementation and measurable effect on current model behavior insufficiently specified.

CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms exist that let someone challenge an output, such as audit trails, source traceability or review before commit, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the harmed party.
Vendor Published

Providers retain review authority, and outputs include reasoning linked to patient information and policy requirements. This traceability can help users identify missing evidence or challenge an authorization recommendation before acting on it. It is an operational review mechanism rather than a binding remedy from the vendor. An enforceable correction obligation, output accuracy guarantee, reimbursement for incorrect decisions, and customer indemnification remain unspecified.

The available material therefore explains how people can inspect the basis of a recommendation without establishing who bears the financial consequences of a mistaken automated review or how a disputed output must be remedied.

Integration and Deployment
BB on EHR and Interoperability DepthNamed systems with read access or one directional writing, or standards support with named deployments behind it.
Vendor Published

The Smart Data Solutions partner brochure identifies a jointly designed prior authorization offering and names Epic integration alongside FHIR support. Its workflow includes intake through fax, APIs, and EHRs, followed by policy analysis and review assistance. This gives a named integration claim and recognizable exchange channels beyond a generic statement that the product connects with other systems.

A named production customer, exact connector functions, and bidirectional chart writeback remain unspecified. The brochure therefore supports an integration pathway without establishing that every deployment has a complete operating read and write connection to the clinical record.

BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyOptions and residency are stated with isolation or the processing path left open.
Vendor Published

Cloud deployment is offered alongside a local containerized option intended to support data sovereignty. The architecture also describes strict version control to reduce exposure to unplanned changes in upstream language models. These are concrete deployment choices relevant to a healthcare organization's control of its environment. Hosting regions, tenant isolation details, backup geography, and the complete external processing boundary remain unspecified.

Local execution of some agents does not establish that all components, model calls, telemetry, or support access stay inside the customer's infrastructure. The available options therefore provide partial control without a fully defined residency commitment.

Commercial
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and the posture is discoverable: a buyer can establish how the product is sold and what drives the cost before contacting the vendor. Most of the index sits here.
Vendor Published

Enterprise access begins with a demonstration or sales discussion. The site offers several review modules and requests contact details for additional whitepapers, but it does not provide a current price schedule. Base fees, usage units, implementation charges, minimum commitments, and differences between cloud and local deployment pricing remain unspecified. Claimed reductions in administrative cost describe intended operational value rather than an amount a health plan or provider would pay for the service.

CC on Setting and Specialty CoverageCoverage is claimed broadly without specifics, or stated clearly with nothing validating it yet.
Vendor Published

The product targets health plans and providers across prior authorization, concurrent review, retrospective auditing, and payment integrity. A March 2026 announcement identifies an ePathUSA partnership supporting the CMS medical record review pilot, with AI intended to assist human reviewers in interpreting documentation and policy requirements. That is a named engagement in administrative review. It does not supply measured results across specialties or patient groups.

Earlier disease-specific examples address different contexts, while current performance by care setting, clinical specialty, policy type, or population remains unquantified. The breadth is therefore clearer at the workflow level than at the validated clinical population level.
