Ethermed, creator of AI-based prior authorization automation solution for healthcare, is excited to share that it has entered into a strategic partnership with VisiQuate, a supplier of AI-driven revenue cycle intelligence. They will work together to bring change to the prior authorization processes while raising the level of overall efficiency in the revenue cycle operations for providers and payers in the healthcare industry.
By leveraging Ethermeds embedded authorization automation features and VisiQuates use of predictive analytics, data intelligence engine, and automation, this partnership is expected to lead to faster approval times, lesser administrative work, and better financial results for the healthcare organizations.
Transforming Insights Into Automated Action
The partnership integrates VisiQuate’s advanced intelligence suite—including its AI-powered authorization prediction model, data engine, analytics platform, robotic process automation (RPA), and revenue cycle workflows—with Ethermed’s automated prior authorization engine. Ethermed’s technology executes authorization submissions directly within clinical workflows, enabling a seamless operational experience.
Through this integrated approach, the two platforms work together to determine whether prior authorization is required before procedures begin. Only necessary requests move forward for automated clinical review based on payer medical policies, after which the authorization is submitted automatically within the workflow.
The system also creates a continuous feedback loop. VisiQuate analyzes outcomes from submitted authorizations to refine its predictive models over time. This iterative process improves procedure mapping accuracy, ensures compliance with medical necessity requirements, and enhances error detection, such as identifying incorrect procedure codes.

Dan Friedman, Founder & CEO of Ethermed, emphasized the power of this combined approach: “VisiQuate’s data and predictive modeling pinpoint exactly where prior authorization slows down workflow and where risk is emerging. Layering our embedded AI automation capabilities on top of those insights resolves friction points seamlessly and immediately.”
Both organizations are aligned in their mission to reduce administrative inefficiencies in healthcare while allowing clinicians and revenue cycle teams to focus on higher-value tasks. By automating repetitive processes, forecasting authorization needs, and enabling proactive intervention, the joint solution helps preserve clinical time while supporting better patient access and improved financial outcomes.
Unified Experience for Joint Clients
Organizations that use two platforms can get an advantage of integrated operational environment with features like unified dashboards, automatically submitted forms, authorization guidance based on predictions, almost real time audit trails, and complete transparency of the processes.
These features empower health care organizations to not only monitor their performance but also minimize the waiting time and make operational and financial improvements that are progressive and measurable.
In a statement about the value for clients, Brian Robertson, CEO of VisiQuate, said: “Collaborating with Ethermed makes our platform more robust by connecting insights with execution without frictions. While we use our data, prediction models, and automation along the sides, Ethermed is responsible for full authorization submission. Besides just pinpointing where the problems are, together we’re automatically solving them and are continuously enhancing the process for our clients.”
Expanding Automation with Data Intelligence
As part of the collaboration, VisiQuate will integrate its automation technologies and AI-driven data logic with Ethermed’s embedded automation framework. This layered approach expands connectivity with payer systems while strengthening decision-making around routing and authorization workflows.
Leveraging VisiQuate’s data engine alongside Ethermed’s AI-driven outcomes technology allows the combined platform to continuously improve prediction accuracy for authorization requirements. It also helps generate more precise authorization submissions, flag potential errors early, streamline the peer-to-peer (P2P) process for providers, and reduce the risk of downstream claim denials.
Integration Within the VisiQuate Partner Ecosystem
Ethermed will also join the VisiQuate Partner Ecosystem, making its automation capabilities available across VisiQuate’s nationwide client network. Through this integration, healthcare organizations can intercept and submit authorization requests within seconds—without navigating multiple portals, logging into additional systems, or disrupting clinical workflows.
The combined solution delivers adaptive automation directly at the point of care, enabling healthcare providers and revenue cycle teams to operate more efficiently while maintaining compliance and improving financial outcomes.
