Authsnap, Inc. is a team of healthcare experts who have come together to create solutions for hospitals in the complex areas of revenue cycle management. Our strong team consists of technical experts, nurses, doctors, and leadership experts who have worked at the top healthcare companies in the world.
Our founder team has extensive knowledge of the complexity around denials and the challenges that hospitals face. We have created proprietary software that utilizes data science technology to significantly decrease the time it takes to manage denials and the number of clinicians that need to be involved in the process.
We seek to partner with hospitals and health systems to recapture denials as well as proactively prevent denied claims through data science to deliver positive cash flow.
Our goal is to become the gold standard in the claims denial industry by leveraging data science to empower providers to deliver consistent and accurate clinical assessments of denied claims in a SNAP™, allowing hospitals to protect valuable clinician resources.
