Specialty Medication Access Infrastructure

Stop preventable prior authorization denials

Paveo reviews specialty medication cases before submission and identifies missing documentation, payer-specific requirements, step therapy gaps, and denial risks.

The intelligence layer before submission — not another portal.

Gap

Required labs

The cost of incomplete submissions

Most denials aren't clinical failures

They're preparation failures — and they're expensive in time, revenue, and days a patient waits to start therapy.

Denied cases

Preventable denials that were complete clinical wins — lost to a missing form or unmet criterion.

Resubmission delays

Every denial restarts the clock: rework, re-review, and another wait in the payer queue.

Manual follow-up

Hours per case spent interpreting payer policy, chasing records, and calling for status.

Therapy start delays

While paperwork loops, the patient waits — and time-to-therapy is the metric that matters.

Why prior authorizations fail

The same gaps, again and again

After interviewing biologic coordinators, PA specialists, and pharmacy access managers, the denial reasons rhyme. Paveo checks for every one.

Missing labs

Required baseline or monitoring labs absent from the packet.

Missing imaging

Imaging the policy requires to establish severity isn't attached.

Missing prior therapy evidence

Step-therapy history not documented in a payer-acceptable form.

Incorrect diagnosis coding

ICD-10 code doesn't map to the covered indication.

Step therapy not met

Required trial-and-failure sequence incomplete or undocumented.

Missing clinical documentation

Chart notes that substantiate medical necessity are absent.

How Paveo works

Five steps, before you submit

Paveo fixes preparation — so the case is complete the first time it reaches the payer.

01

Select drug, diagnosis & payer

Start from the exact combination you're submitting.

02

Upload clinical documentation

Notes, labs, imaging, and medication history.

03

Paveo reviews the submission

Read against that payer's policy criteria — line by line.

04

Identify missing requirements

Exactly what's met, what's missing, and the denial risk.

05

Submit with confidence

Close the gaps first — not after a denial.

Built from real access workflows

What access teams told us

Paveo is designed around the work coordinators actually do — and the parts that hurt most.

Understanding payer requirements is the hardest part of the job.

Why Paveo is different

What Paveo is — and what it isn't

We're deliberately not trying to be everything. We do one thing well: tell you what's required before you submit.

What Paveo is not

  • Another prior authorization portal
  • A workflow management system
  • A generic healthcare AI assistant

What Paveo is

  • The intelligence layer before submission
  • A way to know exactly what's required before you submit
  • Grounded in each payer's real policy criteria
  • Built around how access teams actually work
