Frequently asked questions

About Apex, AI prior authorization, eligibility verification, and EHR integration.

What is Apex by Steer Health?

Apex is Steer Health's AI financial gatekeeper agent. It automates eligibility verification and prior authorization before the patient arrives - achieving an 89% approval rate, reducing authorization turnaround from 72 hours to 2 hours, and saving $4.2M in claim denials across live deployments. Apex processes 50,000+ monthly verifications without manual staff involvement.

How does AI prior authorization work?

Steer Health's Apex agent automatically submits prior authorization requests to insurers using information from the patient record and EHR, monitors approval status in real time, and notifies staff only when exceptions require human review. This eliminates the manual back-and-forth that typically takes 3 to 5 business days, reducing turnaround to 2 hours at an 89% approval rate.

Can Apex integrate with our existing EHR for eligibility verification?

Yes. Apex integrates bi-directionally with Epic, Cerner, and 50+ EHR and payer systems through Indie, Steer Health's interoperability agent. Eligibility results and prior auth status are written back to the patient record in real time, so the care team always has current financial clearance status before the visit.
