Track prior authorization status before it stalls a start date

Every morning, WebRun opens PatientNow, pulls every GLP-1 prior authorization request and its current status, logs pending, approved, and denied requests to a Google Sheet with days waiting, and emails your billing team an alert flagging anything stalled or newly denied so a patient's start date never slips silently.

In short

How do I automatically track GLP-1 prior authorization status for my clinic?

WebRun pulls every GLP-1 prior authorization request from PatientNow each morning, logging payer, status, and days waiting to a Google Sheet worklist. It flags anything pending over 5 days or tied to an appointment in the next 3 days, then emails your billing team an alert, so no patient's start date stalls on a silent authorization.

  • No prior authorization sits stalled without your billing team noticing
  • Patients with an upcoming appointment get priority on the worklist
  • Denials surface the same morning instead of at the patient's visit

Questions, answered

Does it contact the insurance company or the patient?

No. It only builds the worklist and alerts your internal billing team. Any call to the payer or conversation with the patient about their authorization stays with your staff.

How does it flag which requests are urgent?

It sorts by days waiting and checks each request against the patient's next appointment, so anything pending over 5 days or tied to a visit in the next 3 days rises to the top.

What happens once a request is approved or denied?

WebRun reads the live status in PatientNow each morning and updates the worklist, so your team always sees the current outcome rather than stale data.

Put this on autopilot.
