About
Cohere Health is an enterprise-grade AI platform purpose-built for health plans and clinical providers, addressing two of the most complex and costly challenges in healthcare administration: prior authorization and payment integrity. Its Utilization Management solution leverages clinically trained AI to automate authorization decisions, dramatically cutting processing time and administrative overhead while improving the provider experience. Offerings include in-house solutions, delegated models, APIs for deep integration, and Policy Studio for managing clinical and coding policies. The Payment Integrity suite provides flexible audit models and meaningful insights that allow health plans to insource high-value audits more efficiently. Auth Match further enhances coding and clinical decision accuracy. Cohere supports specialty-specific workflows across Musculoskeletal Care, Cardiovascular Health, Sleep, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastrointestinal, and Sepsis management. Real-world results demonstrate 90% automated prior authorizations, 47% admin-cost savings, 70% faster care access, an 8x return on investment for payment integrity, and 94% provider satisfaction. Designed for health plans and trusted by clinicians, Cohere Health replaces legacy portals and outdated cost-containment operations with responsible, data-driven AI that empowers both payer and provider collaboration.
